I headed out to some public land early this morning, and got way back in there before first light. With the high winds, I headed for a deep canyon like holler to try to escape the wind. This one gobbled down in the very bottom, so I got down in there with it. I honestly got to close for the open hardwoods, I'm surprised it didn't see me from the tree. I saw him fly down and could hear spitting/drumming. His hen started yakking at me, I started mimicking her, and she came in to 15 yards or so. Once that happened, he came in on a string to her. Really short hunt for the amount of time it takes to get back in there. 20 pounds, 1 inch spurs, 10.5 inch beard.
