    It’s funny how one guy can move around and the birds stay still and the next guy can be completely still and the birds spook!? Nicely done bro!

    Congrats Drelan! Sounds like an exciting experience. Stalking turkeys is awesome. I believe if they gobble they are going to be long beards. Jakes try but it doesn’t sound very good….from my experience. Could be wrong.?

    Great pic and great story. Gotta love it when the plan comes together. Sounds like you moved ultra-slow to get everything in position, that’s not easy to do….esp. with a cramp in your leg. Good work!

    That’s what I thought for years too, but the jake i took second season this year gobbled like an adult tom and so did the jake my daughters boyfriend shot during the 3rd season. What amazed me was the fact I could not see the beards swaying as they walked in.

    Can be either-or. The jake my brother shot in the most recent report gobbled with more gusto than your avg. mature tom. Judging just from the gobble, I would’ve called him a tom for-sure.
