Hunted Gasconade County, long drive for a hunt until 10 am, but man what a glorious place, gobbling was what I would call very light, but heard at least 8 different birds, most far off, a couple within 400-500 yards, but property was small. Had hen fly right in, then another pass through later that morning. About 915 the closes gobble yet 250 yards are so, spied him a few minutes later, he came to the opposite creek bank a 150 yards away and gobbled and moved on, he was with a couple jakes and hens. Needed to push the issue, so grabbed the fan and circled, spied a bird and he came running into the fan to about 4 yards, jakes shooting or missing ain't my deal. Had to leave, perhaps tomorrow a gobble will take a dirt nap!
Sure is fun being out! 2 days hunting so far and I feel like (tired wise) I have been chasing them everyday for a month!
