Day #2: Run and Gun (without the gun) Dave Keiser picked Doug Crabtree and I up. He said we were going to "Run and gun." First we went to the "Goose Pit" area and Dave drove the ridges above the canyons. Soon we glassed several gobblers in a creek bottom and Dave zipped ahead of the turkeys and we set in a cut corn field on the edge of the woods. Doug began calling. A gobbler responded at once and soon a Merriam's longbeard walked out of the woods in full strut. He advanced to about 35 yards and then he saw our decoys.  NEXT
