Bass fishing has taken place of my turkey hunting for the most part for the past couple of seasons and I was looking forward to opening day. Long story short. This bird responded to my first call real close to camp and he sprinted that way real quick. I had to move quick but was in position when he stuck his head over the log. I only had to run 50 yards from where I slept that night and the dang thing rolled about 200 yards straight down the mountain after I ripped him. I had to holler for help and my hunting buddy had to drive the 4-wheeler down the mountain to recover me (out of mountain climbing shape). We didn't hear or see another bird all weekend! The bird ended up being a jake, not what I was after but I'll take it. First bird in 2 seasons-it was fun!

I woulda shot him too man! I didnt get to hunt at all last season, and only one morning the year before, (when Bent Rod pushed me down in a creek), so I wont be culling much this year... :D
 
Congrats on the mountain bird. You were ready for action and ready to cover a little ground, even if it was down hill. Goes to show you how quick it can all unfold and you were ready. That is great! WTG!!
