First off, let me say congrats to everyone who has already bagged a bird!

Getting up at 3 am was not my idea of fun, but it all turned out great woohoo . Northerner and myself showed up at the farm at 4:30 and proceeded to out designated blinds. At first there was only one gobble at a distance. As the sun rose I looked up and saw 7 turkey roosting in a tree about 100 yards away from me. I thought I was in trouble because I set up decoys with my flashlight on in plain view of the turkeys. As dawn approached, the real gobbling started. It sounded like there were 100 gobblers around us. Most of them between me and northerner. I watched the 7 roosted turkeys fly down one at a time. Once they were down I tried my new GobbleStalker box call. The turkeys went crazy with it. At each noise the turkeys sounded off. I patiently waited, I tried the call again and again they responded , I heard a couple gobbles getting closer. Finally I saw 2 turkeys approaching my set-up. They were both Jakes but I wasn't holding back, when they got to 15 yards I let one of them have it. He dropped on the spot. The second one ran to the middle of the field then flew off to the next field. Once I was sure mine wasn't going anywhere I took a look at the next field and I saw at least 20 red heads. They were all over the place, but when they saw me they took off. Here are a few pics of the morning's events. Thanks GobbleStalker for the box-call, it did the trick.

Nothing gets the blood pumping as good as some good gobbling action first thing in the morning on opening day.

You're not paying for a stay at the Hilton, you're paying to participate in nature. Anything can happen.
