Missed #4 today dang it. - 04/04/19 01:41 AM
Well I decided on an early afternoon run and gun and walked a couple miles. I was doing the normal locator clucks every hundred yards or so and never heard nothing except one hen cluck. I passed her by and figured I'd go back by on the way out and work her if nothing else panned out on the off chance she had a gobbler with her.
Well I was beat and got to the very end of the property and gobbled with prototype box that Tony Reynolds made for me. Well a longbeard immediately gobbled from waaaay off (seemed like the next county). I sat down and got ready and hammered at him again a few minutes later to see where he was. He cut me off and was a lot closer maybe over the next ridge. I guess I miss judged his location cause he came over way up on the right maybe 125 yards away. It's open hardwoods though and hard to move around.
Well that joker came right in but at a goofy angle and if I let him get any closer he would have seen me swing around on him so I shot and missed what should have been #4. I will get after him in the morning and see what happens, though it will be tough as I'm less familiar with that part of the property so setting up will be tough in the dark. I think I will take the Ghost Blind since the woods are so open there.
