Amazing how a bird with a brain the size of a pecan can outsmart a human with the brain the size of a grape fruit.

Great pics Shady! I took a 10 yr old out this morning. He is pretty experienced. I think this was his 3rd bird but his little brother had never gotten one and his dad and my brother took the youngest brother and I took Justin. We had some gobble on the roost but I think I made too much noise setting the blind up this morning and the birds were shy of it and I could not get them any closer than 75 yrds. We went and ate breakfast and went back to another place I have permission and set up for awhile and just called with no responses. He got bored and wanted to walk around and I thought no sense boring the kid to death so we walked and called and found a turtle. We were just climbing the fence by the truck to leave when one gobbled right where we had set and called. He got excited and wanted to go after it. I took him to a clearing about 150 yrds from where I thought the bird was and cut some brush from around a big tree that we could sit against, put the deke out and started calling. All of a sudden a hen opened up behind us close and sounded like she was coming right to us. She was calling repeatedly so I turned him around that way and got his gun off safety and pointed in the right direction. The hen kept getting closer and sounded like she was right on top of us but there was a cedar tree about 10 ft in front of us blocking the view that way. He finally said he could see her and then whispered there was a tom with her. She stepped clear of the cedar about 20 yrds away and had 2 jakes following close with their heads glowing red. I said shoot as soon as one is clear and he made a great shot. He was using my youth 20 ga Rem 870 because he accidentally brought his .22 instead of his 20 ga. He was excited and when we called home, his little brother had killed a big tom right after it flew off the roost. There wasn't much gobbling this morning but they were still interested in the call.

Good job on the turkey killing and guiding folks. I hope to get a chance to go a couple times this week.

Heres pics of my firs bird. He's a small jake that I took on Thursday out in Western Ok in Packsaddle WMA. Very tough weekend....rain, rain, rain. They were unresponsive and tough to figure out. Just happend to stumble upon this jake. 3" beard, nubs for spurs, weight?. Now I need to get to work with the borax and finding a recipie.
