#1 REASON FOR THIS SUCCESSFUL HUNT: Observations while hunting previous days. Decided to setup in a gaswell opening that is close to where I figured they were roosting. A few gobbles confirmed they were there and close, as I could seem him & his buddy strutting on the limb as it was getting light. This one pitched down first and silently made his way up into the opening and into my sights. My 1st TSS bird. Last Day Success!!!
