Worked 12 hour midnights all weekend. Decided Sunday morning to hit it for a few hours before bed. Saw 3 strutting with hens way out in hayfield I hunt. Snuck down fence row as far as I could. Setup called a few times and they were on top of me.
Got on one and missed mid day Monday. Went back to same farm Tuesday morning setup about 80 yards from him on the roost hit him with a few soft tree yelps and within 3 mins of him hitting ground he had slipped in behind me in cow pasture. Shot him through some brush at about 15 yards.
Hunted another farm Wednesday had a couple toms slip in behind me on a fence row but couldn't make out if they were jakes or not so they got the pass. Went back to farm Thursday eve yelped a few times heard a couple gobbles coming from bottom and just a few mins later had 4 longbeards strutting about 40 yards in the ragweed.
