Memorial weekend 6th season tom down 5/22/15

Unread postby BigHunt » Sun May 24, 2015 3:11 am

well lets start off saying what a spring!!!!!!I was fortunate enough to kill 4 toms this year! this will truly be Memorial weekend to remember and a spring to remember, I am truly addicted.I knew birds were going to be tough and I had a plan before I came up but man lol. ... 3 weeks ago when I was hunting the 3rd season I heard a gobbler back off this point. ...I had no clue he was going to be there I just went off hunch. I got out of work at noon made my trip out to western Wisconsin and got set up about 5 p.m. I set my Decoy sat down made a couple calls and instantly I got a response!!!! I couldn't believe it what are the odds!!he made three gobbles and then shut up I worked him the rest of the evening.....I got bored and decided to go over to the ridge so I could see down into the valley. i SAT there for about an hour and then a crow got him gobble.....and he was close. he didn't really move very far from where I heard the last time.I quickly packed up my gear and headed back up to the field I made some loud cuts and excited yelps and he cut me off instantly!! getting closer and closer he was coming so fast I didn't know where to sit so I just SAT real close to the brush line pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. my eyes scan back and forth for the tom ,suddenly I looked straight ahead of me and in the high alfalfa, I could just see his head walking towards me then he went into strutt...i eased my gun up as he got closer, i let him get about 30 yards then smoked him! !!!! I wasn't even really planning on killing a Tom last night I wanted to actually hunt one with the bow today!! Lol
Woke early to listen this morning, heard a tom 100 yards down from were I killed this guy!!!!!
26 pounds
