Here Turkey, Turkey, Turkey!


You are observing Dad Lowery as he calls a turkey on his
60 year old Lynch box call. Bobby Lowery, now retired
from the ministry after 50+ years, was in Tennessee last
week with his nephew Andy Thompson.

Andy owns a beautiful piece of property just south of
Lake Dale Hollow. His cabin sits right in a valley on the
north end of the property.
(What a great place to kick back!)

Dad is sitting in a pop up blind - about 60 yards from the cabin.
He was calling from the cabin porch when a gobbler responded
to his call.

So, we walked out behind the barn and set up a little closer.
FYI: We have placed a fold-out arm chair in the blind for his
comfort. 3 decoys are just 20 yards out the window.

Note: His cane is hanging out the window.
I wonder how copper shining in the sun looks to a turkey?

He worked 2 birds from that position for over an hour.
His camo may be old school, but he can still work up a
gobbler!

P.S. The only turkey we will get to eat, this time,
will have to come from Publix.
