We tried.........

[2050z]

Well Linedawg and I made one last attempt to get our spring turkey.
We head up to the grasslands in Decatur to try our luck.
We setup near the edge of field and proceeded to call. About an hour we heard a faint gobble. We called and called, but nothing responded. We decided to move to another area.

We quickly setup and started calling. This time we heard nothing and we waited for another and decided to walk around and do some calling.
We circled around and walked through woods. We came back out near our blind and discovered my jake decoy was nocked over.

We noticed part of the jakes beard had been pulled out. Something attacked my jake, but we have no clue as to what did it. We rattled of scenarios and we decided the best 'Story' to tell everybody was that a cougar attacked it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

We got back into the blind and called again. I guess it was about an hour when I saw a turkey walking across the open field about fifty yards away.
We called, but the turkey never responded. We waited and waited and decided it was getting too hot to sit in the blind any more.

We packed up and left for lunch and AC.

After lunch we scouted out another spot that might have some potential.
After we got setup up we could hear the thunder rumbling around and the wind was starting to lift up the blind. We heard one gobble, so we stuck it out. The wind finally settled down and we thought it might work out.
Nope! The wind came back and picked the blind up over our heads and that was the end of 2004 Spring turkey season.

It was a great learning experience hunting Spring turkey and I look forward to next year.
