I love listen to there non-stop gobbling while in the trees, today was one of those days were they never stopped even when they hit the ground. Lots of gobbles every direction can't beat it makes a person feel alive.

I took a buddy and fellow Tradganger out opening day and helped him get a good bird. I noticed how bad my gobbler decoys tail was getting after several years of being beat up. I told Paul I needed to shoot a Jake for a new tail when I got a chance, well today was the first day and chance Ive had.

Most of the hens and gobblers headed for water right off but a hour later after nonstop gobbling through the whole valley I noticed 5 jakes entering my clearing. They seen the dekes and came right in never touched a call, they started harassing the decoy and that's when I picked one mostly facing me and let him have it. He went down almost immediately, kinda flopped once and was done 8yds from the decoy. The others picked on him a while got bored and finally left putting the whole way.

200G Ace took out another one!

The set up!

See if I can't find one of those long beards now. Thanks for looking.

The kill shot was right in the boiler room, passing thru and hitting the far hip shattering it. I have never got a pass thru on this shot but it sure puts them down hard.

Those 200G Ace heads always leave some big old holes!
