I worked some gobblers for 4.5 hours today had a blast no shots but this hen came in and was ticked off when she saw my decoy. She made some aggressive purrs and chest beat my decoy it was a fun time, I was able to get a phone pic.

A hen got between me & a longbeard & just stood there, he went behind trees & walked off. A few minutes later a silent partner came in with his girl friend & got the opportunity to ride home with me. Not the biggest 17#-7"beard, but I'm happy with him!

Pictures. We need pictures. Any bird with trad equipment is a trophy.

I have been out every morning so far, had a young hen at 5 feet the third day--fun to watch. Lots of gobbling yesterday AM between 8-10 but the birds wouldn't come in. Not much action this AM-- and it was COLD!

Well left the house by 4:30 was set up by 5 and the sun was anxious coming up. Started yelping about 10 after and soon had three suitors already to ask me to the prom. We were trading compliments back and forth with them getting closer. ( I had a road between me and them ) and they were coming in from my back which was good they would have to pass me before getting to the decoys. Anyway after enjoying the compliments I was getting our date was interrupted by the ring of a single shotgun blast. Talk about disappointed. ( there a some less than considerate folks whole won't stay off our property who got between us and cut in on our dance.) well as disappointed as I was I stayed put not knowing which way everyone had scattered. After about 5 min. I sent out a couple yelps and a coo and after about half an hour Mr. Much more quiet but just as interested shows up and had to get 15 yards from my blind before he could size up my decoy. I was always told it wasn't fair shooting someone in the back but I can say I feel no remorse.

He wasn't a big bird only a 4 in beard but he was defiantly earned.

Congrats on the turkey and the perseverance to keep hunting when most would have been cussing out the trespasser!
