    Wind was howling pretty good where I was at. Did some scouting for a buddy of mine I am taking tomorrow morning. Not a sound from the roost. First gobbles were when they hit the ground at 6:10. 2 Strutters came right in to within 2 yards of where I was set up. Hopefully they will do the same tomorrow. WOW! I have never been that close to Gobbling Toms! What a great morning. I should have brought the camera.


    I love it when you can feel that gobble more than you can hear it!

    No doubt that is the best. If you can feel the drummin’ & spittin’, you know they are right on top of you.

    Hope you enjoyed it, because the next time you go with a weapon, that won’t happen!

    Yeah, after last year, not sure if I want him tagging along with me. He’s bad luck.

    Doh!

    We continue to be a tad later – first gobble around 5:25 this AM and flydown pretty quick thereafter. Not much gobbling on the limb this morning.
