Here's a few more pix, including one last photo I took before wading the creek I have to cross each morning. You can see the cattle path I used on part of the stalk.  It allowed me to slip quietly below the level of the adjoining field where the birds were.  Once I was close to them I climbed up the bank and set up in a stand of river cane until the gobbler walked by following the bearded hen. Probably a 2-3 yr old bird.

Things have really slowed down around here. The hens are on the nest, or hanging close to them, and the gobblers are scattered about . . . very unresponsive to calls and ignoring decoys.  I saw several longbeards combing freshly plowed fields this morning traveling solo.  May try an ambush strategy along the fields edges. Only three more days left in the season. Our early spring has made turkey hunting extra tough this year!

Nice work, that is why we keep hunting.  For the few moments it works out perfectly!
