Off the bucket list...and out of tags

Didn't think I'd get a chance to try this year but this boss bird was with his hens behind the house when I got home from work. Actually I only saw hens, but with the trees in the field I had a feeling he was just out of sight.

When I got back to a good starting point in the field, I saw him strutting. Crawled out there and sat for a while with the fan up, until he noticed...then he strutted and creeped closer until he was 20 yards and closing. At that point I was afraid I'd miss if he got any closer, so I dropped him right there. Got it on video too...I will gladly take that to wrap the season and can now say I've tried the fanning. Although I probably won't do it again for a good while, it's a trick I could pull out every now and then, and it was pretty awesome seeing him get pissed off and come in for a fight.

Glad you've had a good season, and youve expressed interest in fanning glad you got it to work. Now put that up for next year and focus on traditional tactics oke: :rotf:

if I can use a wingbone why not some tail feathers, lol. They're easy to fool either way when they're in the right mood. When they're not, they sure will run a man all over the woods
