What a day to be turkey hunting. Birds where the most active today. Got to my hunting spot a bit later than I wanted which had me change up my plans. Staked out a cozy tree on top of the ridgeline. The first gobbles where coming from the west side so setup facing that way. There after a pair sounded off to the east side and sounded closer. Shuffled around the tree and waited for them. Was steady gobbling from all over the ridge. Eventually a hen dropped from her roost on the east side and flew down into the field. In fairly short order a pair of birds came out of the forest and paraded for her. They made their way away and behind the bush. At the same time heard four birds gobbling their way from the west. So another shuffle back around. Morning was full of gobbling and hen replies with birds moving around a lot. Knew it was only a matter of time before something would make their way to me. By mid morning hens had were breaking away and a few scratches on the pot got a response from a group of birds. A cautious approach wasn't enough to save the jake.https://youtu.be/_ZZ5jkHkShg
