Somehow had some dumb luck this morning on a quota hunt. Had never been in this place until yesterday. I found an area that looked fairly secluded and alittle steeper than the area around it. This morning I walked straight up the ridge and once on top, I stopped to listen. Dumb luck led me to stop within 60 yards of this gobbler. I could literally see it in the tree once it got light enough. I let it fly down before calling, It flew down at about 40 yards but was over a steep hill. I lightly called on a Gooserbat Hillbilly and scratched in the leaves. Before I knew it, it was at 20 yards and coming fast. I really only got to hunt about 15 minutes and it's quite a drive back home, only one bird allowed, but I guess that's fine because shooting one is what your supposed to do right? 20 pounds, 9.5 inch beard, 7/8 spurs

Glad you got one brother and I know that's a long drive, just gives you more time to savor the hunt. I'll take lucky anyday!
 
As mentioned on several previous posts, those quick kill hunts are payback for some of those that went on for days without success. Congrats!
 
I consider myself a pretty efficient hunter but if I was ever stuck in a post apocalyptic world I would want Steven on my team. This dude is a straight up killer.

Congrats again man!
