Set up within 75 yards of him from the roost yesterday morning. Again, I could see him strutting on the limb. He flies down and hammers at everything I throw at him. He's still about 75 yards down a branch from me, but won't come in. I go quiet for about 10 minutes and he gobbles on his own about 150 yards down the bottom. I had a good feeling of what he was doing, so I pulled out and made a big circle to get on the ridge above him. After about 30 minutes of circling, I get to my spot on the ridge above where I think he's at. I do a quick cut at him and he cut me off about 150 yards down the ridge. Perfect!! I sit down and throw more cutting at him and get him fired up. I then go quiet again. After about 5 minutes of silence, he starts burning up the woods looking for me. This time he has cut the distance in half. I can now hear him spit, drum, and drag his wings. After a few minutes, I see his fan pop up. I swing a little to my right and get on him. He them pops out from behind some brush at 25 steps and BOOM!! #3 is toast!! He actually had picked up another gobbler in the process that never said a word.
