Florida

This trip I set up in a fence row using some old hay bales with decoys at about 10 yds or less. I used a slate call and a mouth call a couple of times over a 10-minute time frame, waiting a few minutes in between. Then I caught movement from my left. The bird was on my decoys without any gobble or noise, no strutting either. I picked up my T/C Pro Hunter muzzleloader and the bird saw movement, jumped sideways, but did not run or seem spooked. It started back to the Jake decoy and I pulled the trigger. When the smoke cloud cleared, the bird was on the ground. Scored NWTF at 59.38. 10 3/4″ beard with 1 1/8″ spurs. Took me about 5 minutes to calm down enough to go out to my bird. Thanks to HECS^® for a great product.
