Lakes Sutherland 4/21

[James Kaye]

My son Sam and I hunted Lake Sutherland,Corral area Sat. 4/21.We watched single hens feeding through the woods and one good sized Tom at 6am that was dark black,pick his way past us at around 80 yds.No gobbles and didn't show any interest in our decoys or our calls.We resisted the urge to chase hoping he would come our way but he picked his way up the hill.We moved to that side around 11 and didn't see or hear anything till 1.We decided to pack it in and on our way back spotted a Tom within sight of our car.We got behind a ridge and hustled along for 60 yds.Sam popped up over a bush and he was 20 yards away.Great end to a great day.16.8 lb.9 in.beard 3/4 in.spurs.

Sorry about the pictures.Looks like I kept loading the same one.
The horses were the only thing interested in our decoys.
