BOWHUNT FOR THE RIO GRANDE
by Robert Hoague

Day 2 - Morning

| Robert Hoague Hunt | Fred Lutger Hunt

I was on the ridge above the river well before daylight, set up and in my blind. At gobble time they began gobbling. I waited for better light to call. Several hens called first and the Toms gobbled occasionally. Once I kicked in the gobblers picked up the pace and rattled the water in the river.

It sounded promising, with one consideration, if the real hens went the other way so would the gobblers. To make a long story short, that's what happened. I waited in my blind until 11:00 with no turkey sightings and nothing but a couple of far off gobbles.

My hunt for the day was over. I had to pack for our turkey hunt with Billy Don at Wild Horse Prairie Ranch in Burnet, Texas. We were leaving when Fred and the Duck came in from hunting at dark. Which we did. I got Billy Don on the cell phone and we met up at McDonalds in Burnett, the only place to eat open after 10:00.

Fred Lutger's Hunt
Fred and the Duck hunted long hours today. Gobblers answered Fred's calls, hens came to the Henny Penny and the cows left them alone. But no gobblers came to play.
