Long story short I heard a gobble a mile off one morning. No other birds where gobblin so off I went.i knew he was close to some RR tracks so I got up to the tracks and called. He answered maybe 100 + out. Well I get sat up and I start hearing a train coming.
I call again, he's closer.... waiting...train with in 300 yards and I see him . He is strutting his way to me coming down the tracks. I Yelp to him as loud as I can and he cuts me off . The engineer evidently saw him and started laying on the horn . This bird is in full strut gobblin his head off at this train and just before it runs him over he runs off the tracks on my side . While the train is thundering by I shot him.
