As described in my “Tom Foolery” story, in the 2022 May/June issue of Outdoor Canada, this gobbler first opened up while he was still on the roost a scant 100 metres away, continuing to respond enthusiastically to my calls for an hour before going silent. Forty-five minutes later, he emerged from the woods with a flap of his feathers to flog my interloping jake decoy atop a willing hen deke.
