You know, this was not meant to be a one man's turkey season thread. I showed you mine. I broke lucky again Friday afternoon and bagged the bird below.
I'd noticed some scratching and strut marks opening weekend in a small linear food plot in the middle of some young planted pines. The weather report for Saturday was a washout, so I played hooky from the office Friday afternoon to get my weekend turkey fix in. When I walked up to the two path road approach to the food plot I saw a hen and a gobbler already there.
I watched them a while with binoculars. Considered a sneak through the pines but just waited till they moved off into the woods. Then I walked in, placed a jake decoy and hid a couple of pine rows in to call. Within minutes I had a hen answer then two of them came in from my right and walked up to my decoy. I looked left and spotted the Gobbler, another longbeard, coming up the road in full strut. He came right on in front of me and I took him. Pic below:
