Yesterday I caught him by himself and he worked perfectly. I was using one of my glass over glass pot calls and a dogwood striker. Last edited by arkrunner; 04/27/19.

I had the questionable privilege of calling a similar size wize whitebird to within 60 yards or so while hunting with my then youth season eligible son. Got him to cross a creek but he hung up on a flat up the bank and just refused to come closer. We saw him a few other times during both deer and turkey seasons and at least have him as a memory. Congrats on your success. “When Tyranny becomes Law, Rebellion becomes Duty” Colossians 3:17 (New King James Version) "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

Definitely not smoke color phase it appears as the key is bars being present on wings and tail( at least that’s what wildlife biologist told me about smoke phase I called in for friend couple years ago). Not trying to drag this down, curious is all. Happy for you
