kimberx2 Report post Posted May 8 Hunted in NM for about a week. First two days were really good, then it slowed down. Finally had them talking on 7th morning. Called in 2 toms about 7:30. Hit the first one, then gun jammed. It really doesn't like those 3 1/2" shells. Picked shell up off ground and missed 2nd bird. Set back up and started calling again. Half an hour later called in another tom. He came in strutting, spitting and drumming. At 30yds I let him have it. Hunt over for the year. Now hopefully I can get one archery in AZ. Good luck everyone. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

couesdeerhntr Report post Posted May 10 Congrats on a beautiful bird! These past few hunts and storys have brought back old memories. Reminded me of a time we had a bird in tree and gobbles all around. Bird in tree flew down went different direction and another fired up and came in. My buddy devon shot and rolled the bird and it flew away. thought hunt was over but the birds kept on talking. Stayed next to same tree and another bird came in strutting. Buddy shot that bird and dropped him. Thru all excitement i left my timberline box call next to tree. Years later i am on same ridge and find myself hunting a bird and i sit right next to my call. That call is still in my pack and works. Not the best sound but i bust it out sometimes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
