[QUOTE="imhntn, post: 1121257, member: 3755"] Well I thought I was going to be out of town today but I had some free time this afternoon. One of the guys in my Bible study had been hunting and having no luck so I invited him to go after church and I would just call for him. Sorry Dr. Tad, I didn't think I would be available today. I took him out and did the calling. We just set up in an area I knew the toms like to strut and gobble in some timber on top of a hill and I started calling. We had sat there for 45 minutes and called every 10 minutes or so before we heard a gobble a long ways off. I called again and it was closer. It finally got within about 100 yrds and I started moving off and calling at the same time to draw them past my friend. They circled the hill just out of his sight and got in front of the direction I was going to cut me off. Luckily the timber was thick and the farmer had cut down a bunch of cedars and they were laying around blocking the view of the birds so I backtracked and passed my buddy again and got on the other side of him and 2 big birds came right in to him. He shot one with a 9" beard and some nice big sharp spurs at about 20 yards. We were done and back at the truck in and hour and a half. It was a great hunt with lots of gobbling and calling at the end. Here is a pic I took right where the bird dropped with my blackberry. Probably my last hunt for the year. It was a good year, I shot the one with the recurve and called in 4 others that friends got. My best year about 5 years ago, I shot 2 and helped 8 different guys get birds. I have been hunting these farms for 20+ years and the birds are pretty much in the same places every year. I sure saw a lot more mature birds this year. We only took one jake out of the 5.
