what a hunt!!! for me anyway. this is only my second turkey i have killed . we are standing at the truck just at daybreak gobbling to our left and to our right ,which way do we go uh! the birds to our left sounded a little closer and boy was we right . we sat out the decoys one being a B-MOBILE struttin jake and the other a hen . the birds were gobbling behind us in the woods what sounded like the next ridge over and my buddy lightly called and we wasnt sure if the toms were answering our calls or not . we could hear hens yelping so we thought great ! they are with the hens. then they would sound further away then it sounded like they were gettin closer and they was!! then a tom gobbled right on top of us then we spot him and he is leading a flock of turkeys to the field edge . then i see the tom in full strut about 60 yds away and then my buddy calls ever so lightly and he gobbles then he slowly starts making his way toward the decoys 3 or 4 steps and the a full strut this happens a couple more times and he is in range and BOOM!!!!! the tom is down and my buddy says wait don't move he starts calling again kinda aggressive and all of a sudden the other birds head perks up and here they come back in to the dead tom . my buddy trys for the other decent tom but no clean shot and settles for the jake to experience the double . man what a great hunt for me and my buddy!!!! my tom weighed 24lbs with a 11 in. beard and 17 m spurs and his was a jake that weighed 14 lbs. we took pic. but will try to post later .
