With
a rio grande yet to get I'm digging in...
April 23
Morning - At The Gate
-
I glassed hens hanging out in an area where the rancher is feeding cows
round bales of hay. Two solos came by me. The whole place was shaking with
gobbles and I saw a group of 3 and 2 gobblers in the cow pasture.
Afternoon - I set
up a T-5 Double Bull 85 yards from the Point area and put out the Renzo's
strutting jake and a hen.
At 3:56 a fat bellied, red
headed longbeard showed up in a small clump of trees that I've seen gobblers
in lots of times. I called at him with the Woodhaven aluminum slate and
he did a half strut. I shut up and he watched the area for several minutes.
But he couldn't see the decoys from where he was. When he started to leave
I took a picture.
He's in there but is a black
shadow. Also you can see the area where he was. I mention that because
tomorrow you're gonna see a Double Bull here.
All during the afternoon
gobbles sounded from the west, the windmill, the canyon, and finally the
river.
April 22 - Afternoon-
Since it was so hot earlier I set up at the "gate" with the Double Bull
Matrix blind. I mean right at the gate too, 4 yards from it, right against
the fence on the west side -- which is the non-cow pasture side. (Cows
are not ground blind friendly.
I called in two different
toms. They jammed on the brakes and studied my lone hen decoy. And blew
her off. Lots of gobbles this afternoon, mostly from the west and the river
area.
April 21 - Dry
Tank - I called in 5 jakes. One gobbled once and
they hung out but would not get in bow range.
