Turkey Hunt 5/5

[Guest]

So we started out at 5. My buddy forgot his turkey caller and only had the crow call...we hunted the back of this mountain before the birds came down...so I went up to a clearing, set up the decoys, and started calling...I heard a gobbler above me, then he went to the left and flanked me...I listened for a while and heard some hens calling him to my left...

The plan for tommorrow is 2 prong...

1) Go further up the hill so the tom walks into me on his way to visiting the hen to the left...

2) have my buddy call from about 50 yards behind where I am, and draw them to the shooter...

 

At about 9:30, a black bear ran right up to my decoys, and I yelled at him...LOL...Such beautiful creatures...cant wait to hunt them this year....

 

Any thoughts?

 

PS, I am out in zone 2, back side of stokes on private land...just for orientation
