Opening Day - Rio Grande Gobblers Fred Lutger, the Duck and I are bowhunting for Rio Grande gobblers today. 
Afternoon Hunt: Just when I thought the day's hunt was over ... 3 longbeards walked around the tree I was hiding behind. GO... 
Morning Hunt: When Fred called again the gobbler stepped into view down the fence by the Gate. Fred continued to call and the gobbler walked down the fence past the blind, looking at the decoys. GO... Day 2 - Search

Before
daylight Doug Crabtree led the way for Mike "Moxey" Spivey into a cypress
head, grunting and walking on all fours to disguise themselves as hogs
so the nearby roosting turkeys would not detect them. 
Doug
set up 150 yards from the timber where the gobblers were roosted and gobbling.
His plan was to wait till the gobblers flew down and then start calling
them. But that plan was quickly changed.
