Indiana opening day started out wet with severe weather in the for cast. We headed on out hoping to get a brake in the weather. I was hunt with a friend that had not ever kill a bird. I had explained that if we got a chance at a double, how we were going to pull it off. I always allow who I'm hunting with to get on there bird first, than I get on mine and count to three, and shoot on THREE. Well, I called up a couple on nice long beards in a field. They came in, one strutting and the other was the looker. I repeated how we was going to shoot. He gave me an "Ok" and said He was on. I started counting....One....Two.."BOOM". 
He was so excited that He thought He heard "Three".
This caused me to jump some what and I was off my bird, who was flying at this time. But the worst was that He totally missed his bird. I really did not care that I didn't get mine, but I really wanted him to get his.
We continued on hunting and was able to calling a couple of more birds up. But He could not get a clear shot. And with the recent miss fresh on his mine, He was more reluctant to pull the trigger.
Day two started out wet also, and not much gobbling. I think things will get better later in the season.
