Well, I laid the hammer down on one! I slipped in there in the dark and setup on the edge of the field along a creek. The birds have been rotating roost spots on the several ridges that drop down into this field so I wasn't sure which one they were roosted on. I hooted several times and the birds never gobbled on the roost. I kind of expected that so I decided to sit tight and wait it out a little bit. Right at 7:30 I heard my first gobble and could tell the bird was on the ground. I yelped back to him on my John Sinclair waterproof slate and he answered me along with another bird. I shutup and gave it a few minutes as they continued to gobble. After a few minutes the rain picked up and I decided to cut and yelp again. This time one of the gobblers cut me off and I knew they were coming. I set the slate down and got ready.. I hear yelping coming from behind me into the field. A flock of hens decided to show up to the party. About as soon as I saw them the two gobblers hammered in the creek bottom close, and i could see them moving quickly towards me. They both popped up into full strut and worked their way right to me. I picked one of them out and let the 870 eat. I was back to the truck and out of the rain by 8:00. Sorry about the soggy bird pics lol.
It was a good morning and I really appreciate all the comments guys!
