Turkey Thumpers: Tad’s First Eastern Gobbler – Season 2 – Webisode 15

Now Tad has killed 5 Osceola gobblers over the last 4 years (2 this year) but the Eastern turkeys have always seemed to stay out of his reach. He has had a couple of shots but missed both times in Mississippi.

This year was the first time I had opportunity to take him to our club in Georgia. He was excited and I was nervous because it was May and it was going to be hot and difficult. I did not know what kind of success we would have.

We sat our tent in an area where I knew there were 2 mature toms that had been giving us the slip for 3 years. We thought we had them the first morning when they were gobbling and strutting their way to our setup. But then a hen appeared and took them away in the opposite direction. We decided to try it again at that same spot the next morning and watch the video to see what happens.
