Well my good friend and his two boys along with my son and I headed out to see if we could score on a bird. It started kinda slow at the first farm and after only hearing a couple of gobbles off the property we decided to head to the other farm. We got there around 7:30 and walked down in a big bottom. My buddy called alittle and in no time had a hen answer us. So we sat up in the road that goes thru the bottom and started calling. The hen was alone and came right in to our set-up. After she walked off we were debating on what to do next when I thought I heard a faint gobble. Then we heard him again and definitely could tell he was heading our way. So we repositioned and got the decoy in the road. He was a little shy at first but after a little calling and some patience we finally saw a big fan coming down the road toward the decoy. My buddies oldest son pulled the trigger at 15 yards with the bird in full strut and rolled him...Shot him at 8:45. Bird was atleast a 3 yr. old and had a little better than a 11 inch beard and 1" spurs. Not a better feeling after watching a youngster take a good bird!!!! Some happy hunters we got here....
