These gobblers have been henned up all season and looks like they will be for the remainder of the season. You're only as good as your worst shot-

Usually find a lonesome gobbler somewhere, but they were slim pickings this year. "Your woodsmanship value and qualities are ten times more important than the actual calling ability."-Preston Pittman
