Headed SE early Sat morning to get in a day hunt with Trophysportishing on his hunt club land. Tried to locate one to no avail. Proceeded ahead 100 yds or so and bumped a hen roosted low in the trees on the edge of a cutdown.

Went ahead and set up in an area that John had seen turkeys in regularly throughout the year. Tons of fresh scratchings, moist shiny turds, and a few feathers from either a fight or some afternoon delight.

Waited for things to settle down and flydown cackled......got em on! He gobbled hard full roll 300 yds or so down the ridge. After flydown passed I did some more calling every 15-30 minutes. Light clucks a few rounds thencomplemented by very aggressive cuts the next round which produced 2 more gobbles....... headed our way. I shut up and played the waiting game for another 30-40 only minutes. No gobbler After that I cut hard again, when we heard him last he was headed the other way. I estimated him at the closet 200 yds to us. But did not seem hot at all.

Did some cut and run on a few other pieces of land that looked gorgeous but no takers. We did call in a hen that we busted as we rounded the corner. Tailfeathers and dust we the last thing I saw of her

Thanks for having me to hunt Trophy. I enjoyed it. Always nice to hear a few gobbles and see some birds to keep the hope up!
