Friday morning I had two birds gobbling at me. I moved off a logging road to the one that sounded most interested, but he flew down to some hens. The bird I thought was just giving me a courtesy gobble was coming in, so I started working him. He had cut a large distance and was definately committed. I heard him gobble from what sounded like less than a hundred yards. 30 seconds later--BOOM!
Some dude snuck in between me and the bird and shot him. He never called once. I figured it wasn't a good idea to confront somebody considering how PO'd I was so I just packed up my decoys and left. When I got to my truck, there was another truck parked next to mine--so I know he was got there after I did. He knew I was there, he knew what I was going on. He probably went back and told all his buddies what a masterful job of calling he did.
I'm bowhunting so I have lots of time left. But it still really jerks my chain. Thanks for letting me vent.
Birds didn't gobble worth a hoot all weekend in Buchanan County. Mosquitos are the most vicious I've seen since my last fishing trip to Canada. Don't go into the woods without 100% DEET!
