| James, good eye! Yes, that is one of my rivercane yelpers that I recently cobbled up. It played a role in the feathered departed's demise. Glad you enjoy yours. Gil |

Over my turkey career, on more than one occasion I have spent an inordinate time targeting a single gobbler; one that rules the roost over a certain field, strutting zone, or woodlot, only to whip me day in and day out. There were easier birds to hunt, ones with strings attached that cruised dating sites but were too ugly or incompetent to attract a hen, easy birds that survived the season because I spent so much time targeting a single bird and didn't chase them instead. I'm wondering if any of you have stories about such a bird and would be willing to share?

I'm hoping to get out one more morning, so far I have hunted three mornings and called in six toms. Two died and one was a miss. First season I have not toted a gun but I may remedy that. I used to hunt 30+ mornings a spring starting in Florida, then coastal SC, Ala, Ga, then Ky. I hope to do that again one day. Also on the list is the goulds which would be my North America slam.
