went out w/ my son and father-in law this afternoon we setup off this cow pasture where we had seen birds and my boy missed a jake a few days ago. we went in bout 5:30pm setup a hen decoy in the field we posted up behind the fence we sat there and called but the wind was blowing so we got up to move closer to the spot we thought the birds where going to come from and be able to here our calls man we was creeping we walked right up on a group of 8 gobblers without realizing it.needless to say we was back peddling hard has hell to this downed pine. exciting as hell i wanted to drop and fire once we seen them cause they was feeding and hadnt caught wind of us yet but i followed my father-in-laws lead and went to setup he eased back down the hill to see if they was still there and they spooked but man i had a ball we're going back friday evening they work that field every afternoon so we going to knock'em down friday.big damn gooblers! heart was pounding on this one boys.
hopefully next time you get a meal out of the hunt, but congrats on a fun one as it was. The majority of the fun of hunting for me is just being close to animals.
