On my buddies farm in GA. Heard 5 gobbling good but hens took them away from me. I'm waiting to see if anything comes back my way.

#4 dead. It's still real foggy here and I only heard one. Got set up in good position and answered a gobble with a tree yelp. That seemed to fire him up and he started gobbling more. The fog kept him in the tree longer than normal so I eventually answered another gobble. I didn't hear him fly down, but he shook the ground with a gobble and was just out of sight. Wasn't but a few more seconds and he was there. He was at least 3 and maybe older, so there is no doubt there have been mornings that he was uncallable. Today, he was alone and lonely and vulnerable. A yelp from a Fatal Attraxion Red was the last sound he heard, and it was the only call I used on him. Stony you need a name for this call; doesn't do it justice to just use the color.

A beautiful morning in Coffee County but no gobbling.
Where can I get this "Fatal Attraction" mouth call? You probably can't; I think the company is shut down for turkey season. They are made by wareagle22 on here - Stony Brock. Yekrut makes a call that is very similar. The red call just seems to fit me. Many others prefer the snake tongue style that both of them make. But honestly, I think any call that can produce a soft yelp would have brought that turkey in. He was just ready.

Congrats PCP! All quiet here this morning. Headed out to do a little shopping right now. I ripped the inside heel out of my snake boots this morning and I need to grab a few supplies for the Florida trip next week.

I had one drumming in a patch of canes and couldn't get him to come out. I took a couple of sound shots and went in the canes couldn't find nothing.

Had two talking when some jackwagon slipped up to the property line and did some of the most awful calling I've ever heard. The birds shut up immediately and my hunt was over. maybe I'll get #1 before its too late
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Been wanting to try an afternoon hunt so I'm gonna set up on a clover plot and hope something comes to the decoys. Gobblers been roosting behind the plot but flies down to the pasture across the line to his hens. Hoping him and the girls will come this way before fly up.

I went to town to get me some lunch and came back to the farm to catch a power nap. I parked where I could watch the pasture just in case I couldn't sleep. Well I couldn't sleep and every 10 to 15 minutes I would check the pasture out. I wasn't there long and I spotted some turkeys. I get the binos on them and there is 13 mature gobblers in one wad. They did not have a single hen with them. I watch them a minute or two and could tell where they was headed. I high tail it around the south side of pasture and get set up in front of them. A few soft yelps and I have them in a sight. I spot two of the back birds that were to my left and they were closer than the lead birds. Both were within range of my gun so I line up on the closet of the two. Pull the trigger and he jumps up hits the ground flopping and before I could get through this 5 strand barbwire fence he's got his bearings and making tracks. I give chase the best I could but he out ran me. I never got close enough for a follow up shot or I would have took it. I'm mad and sick at the same time. He's got one broke wing for sure so he's toast I'm sure. I looked all over for him but when he hit the timber he vanished. 13 mature birds and I fail to make a clean kill on one of them!
