PODCAST: The Midway Gobbler

It has taken quite a while for me to get this podcast together. The wind was brutal this morning, the first Monday of 2015 Kentucky Spring Gobbler. This was the day SuperCore and I got matching bookend gobs about a half hour apart.

Mine was roosted with hens over by Lazy Boy, where #3 son Angus likes to deer hunt. I had arrived in between thunderstorms at first light. I holed up at Midway, my luxury box deer blind, expecting more rain. I had brought along a Toby Benoit Rebel Yell box call. It is by far the loudest in my collection and the wind was fierce. As soon as I got situated, I let out an excited yelp and immediately got a response from the dominant hen. She matched me note for note. Pretty soon, the whole flock flew down and made a beeline for the blind with the hen and I walking on each other. A half-hour later I was staring at a gob and hens emerging from the woods, 60 yards away and closing. You can hear the rest.
