No, I didn't call him in....at least not this one. I do call them in all winter and hunt for them intentionally, but this one was traveling through the area like they do routinely and caught a opposum right down the hill from me. He ate what he could then grabbed a mouthfull and headed up the hill right straight to me to bury it. When he stopped at about 15 steps and started to dig a hole I was already at full draw. Needless to say he didn't get the job done, but I sure did. I know it was a opposum that he was carrying because when I went to investigate what he had dropped, it still had the opposum's tail attached to it. I had no idea they would eat those? Learn something new after 26+ years of bowhunting.....nature never ceases to amaze me.
Bjorn- I'm assuming you are referring to the turkey as the toughest game animal to bag with a stick bow? That would be my #1 toughest on the list, because it seems like even if they are looking straight away they can still see you move.
