Memorial weekend 6th season tom down 5/22/15
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
11 inch beard
1 1/4 spurs
#4 of the spring

You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
