Phil, have you had any success calling a keyed up longbeard from that kind of distance?
A few years ago in Vt a big ol gobbler answered my lonesome hen yelps from over a half mile away. Closer and closer he came to my beckoning pleas and when he was about to cross through the last wooded fencerow into the field I was sitting at the far edge of from him BLAM!!
And that was the end of him. Another hunter was concealed in that fencerow...
