Two gobblers go into a bar...

The gobbler I called in yesterday was still there. A little before 9:00 he started gobbling below me. Just as I decided I should get to the spot where I called him from yesterday instead of trying to call him to the same spot two days in a row...

I saw him headed that way. He got there and put on a dance a hundred yards away. I couldn't budge him.

Before long, something started yelping above him. I thought it was a hunter, then as it moved I thought it was a hen. It turned out to be two more gobblers. They went right to him and a dandy fight broke out -- wing beating, chest bumping, neck pecking, spur slashing, all punctuated by loud fighting purrs.

I'm not sure which ones were doing the fighting, but I think it was the two gobblers who came into the first one. It looked like he just stood there and watched while they duked it out. Kind of like two guys going into a bar to fight with a third guy, and they end up beating up each other.
