San Mateo Mt. Gobbler

Recommended Posts

Went to a new area completly blind. Didn't roost anything Friday night. Slept in Saturday morning cuz tired from work week. Went to a trail I saw on the map at noon. Walked a short distance up the trail with my good buddy Jim, made my first call of the day, gobbler answered about 150 yards away. After around 4 calls, 7 or 8 gobbles and 20 minutes, single gobbler comes in at full strut. Plan was for Jim to take him, but he couldn't get a shot so I took him at 20 yards. One inch spurs, 11 1/2 inch beard. Couldn't ask for much better! Thanks Jim for sharing the experience with me! Sometimes it pays to go somewhere new and don't have a clue what to expect!

 

Thanks guys

Travis

Good deal Travis, I love that part of the state. I'm sure the weather was nicer than the Jemez over the weekend.
