I have been hitting the woods at least twice a week since opening day.I could not find the turkeys,or mushrooms.I had not even heard a gobble!
Yesterday,the 26th I decided to hit a creek bottom in search of morels to go with my cube steak for supper.I dressed in full camo so they would not see me coming.I even made a few calls,so the mushrooms would not know they were my target.
After crossing a small creek,eyes intent on the forest floor,I made a few yelps,just put put any fungus nearby at ease.
GOBBLEOBBLEOBBLE!
Yeow!He's close........I got behind a tree with several trunks branched out.A few yelps later,I could see the top of his fan coming,then that bright blue head.The crosshairs were on his wattles,but the shot was iffy with all the new growth sprouting up.
With the scope still on target, soft yelps made him stretch his throat and gobble again,a few steps closer was all I could take.
