Fast forward a couple of more days. Got #3 this morning, a pretty good bird- 18.5 lbs with a 10″ beard. Started not to go because of the turbulent front coming through last night. I figured I’d get up anyway and see how it looked. Woke up and checked the radar on my iphone. Looked like we were right on the edge of the rain so I decided to go ahead. Good choice!! Heard this bird gobble a few times but he wasn’t coming my way. I decided to make a move and try to get ahead of him. When I finally caught up with him he was just across a road and he looked like he was alone. I quickly sat down by the edge of this small field on my side of the road and only had to call once. He came on a string and I didn’t have a chance to get my video camera set up. You can’t beat good luck!! Picture in the photo gallery. Later…
