Fun hunt this morning!

[Union Co. Boy]

Got set up and ready in my usual spot. Haven't heard a bird in two days, but I can usually work with them from there if I hear one. Heard him back toward the dang truck so I made a move. Watched him pitch into a field and strut and gobble for several minutes. Called a few times and he moved closer. Waited and called softly a couple times and he came a little closer again. Third series he came walking my way. Got the gun up and ready and within a minute I heard him drum. Saw his fan coming over the edge of a small ditch at 35 yards. He drummed again and gobbled right at me. I love hearing it sound like they shake the ground! He went half-strut and all I could see was his head and neck. He fell at the shot and the shakes took over.
Blessed morning! Thank the Lord!
