It had been a rough season until last night. Been seeing a lot of birds but they have had no interest in calls or decoys. Also work has been taking up too much of my time for turkey season being in! Set up along a field with no decoys yesterday. It didn't take long for a tom to come out in the field. He finally made his way in range at the end of shooting light and I let him have it at 7 yards with the ol' single shot 20 Gauge. I will get the video put together soon!

Can't complain about that beard and spurs. He probably dropped a few elbees from the rigors of the spring.

Tons of hens and they just won't let the toms go anywhere.

Thanks. Yes I agree. I've never seen so many hens and jakes in a season. The ratio was a little off this season.
