Angus Tags Out in 2018
Angus is making it look easy. This one flopped down from his roost and came running over with less than a half-hour’s legal hunting on Saturday. Angus said he was working a more mature gobbler that was back behind Broken Corners when this fellow flew down from the roost and ran practically up Angus’ leg. Angus shot him at under 10 yards.
This was a 2 year old gobbler with 1/2 inch spurs and a 9.5″ inch beard. However, you wouldn’t know it. Angus’ shot gave the gob a quick beard trim.
Me? I went birdless again this weekend. What I suspect is happening is the cold weather has held the gobblers back from their normal pattern at the Honey Hole. In general, by the end of the first week, the gobblers on that ridge have become receptive to calling. This year, however, I have not had a single gobbler honor my calls. Nearly every day I have had one or more hens come in, so I know I’m connecting.  There are still 2 weekends left this season.

Congrats to your boy! I finally managed to scratch out a gobbler Sunday morning at 11:40am. It’s been a tough season so far.
