2 nd day hunt report

[charlie cleveland]

this was a warmer morning than usal..i was in the woods by 5.30 i went to a little hill to listen and sure enough i heard a turkey gobble...in about10 minutes i heard another gobble but it was not the same turkey..he gobblled again and i had a good line of direction on him and after him i went...after a quarter mile of double timing it i stopped and called that turkey gobbled but i bet it was still a quarter of a mile to him...i closed the distance and set up my chair and put the face mask on and yelped a coupla times that turkey gobbled again but it was the last gobble he made. i dont know what happened buti believe he had hens with him and they led him away from the calling... will go after him in the morning if it isnt stormy weather..one thing for sure this 16 ga is a lot lighter to tote than my 8 ga or the 10ga s... charlie
