Well, it ended up pretty good!
The weather broke and Saturday ended up being a pretty morning. That didn't help, however, because we couldn't find a gobbling bird to save our lives! We covered various spots over multiple tracts of land and never heard a single gobble. At about 10:30, we decided it was time to call it, and we headed toward the house. As we drove past one of the farms where we had previously listened that morning, we saw 5-6 birds in a field and 2 were obviously toms. We put a little game plan together and circled around behind them where we thought (hoped) that they would go. 30 min later, after a crazy hunt and a little help from a strutting decoy, a 13 yr old young man got his first bird!
Oh yeah, the little man was fired up when he killed his bird! He made a great shot as well. The bird was 30-35 yds!
Congrats again Mike! I have to say, your entry pics are priceless! We are currently leading this thing with style points!
