Flock of Fall Toms

[invisible man]

I had these guys across the meadow about 600yrds away. I gobbled at them for about 30min. And they finally started working my way. An hour later they popped up under my stand. Its about 5min long but there is a few good birds there.

Would have been cool to stick one to the ground.

Outstanding Invisible, thanks for sharing that. I have two questions. First, what is your favorite gobble call? I am practicing yelps and purrs with a diaphragm but I need a different device for springtime gobbling. Second, at close range they look more like rios than Merriam's (buff tips and copperish glint on their sides), but how do you tell for sure if they are not strutting and their coverts are covered?

All the birds in SoCal are Rio's. they brought them over from Texas In the early 90's. They chose the Rio for its ability to adapt to brush country. I like the Haint Gobbler,from Down and Dirty Outdoors. With a little practice you can put out the best gobbling you ever heard. but they all work.
