We followed that turkey. I mean, we followed him for at least a half and hour. I'd gobble, and he'd gobble back, but he kept on strutting away. Finally, I made a real hard call. The turkey stopped, turned, and came toward us, staying in full strut the whole way.
Turkeys have the ability to know exactly where calls are coming from.
I was trying to sound like - were. It took almost fifteen minutes for him to get within fifteen yards of us. And with the morning sun shining full on him, it was one of those particularly beautiful sights that make a day out hunting so special. It was an extraordinary hunt and a beautiful trophy bird.
