[QUOTE="imhntn, post: 2160765, member: 3755"] I took a newb out after church for his first turkey hunt. He offered to pay me but I made him swear to never go back on the place and took him. He is a friends grown son. I started calling when we hit the timber and called every 30 yrds till we got to the blind. I had him get in the blind and I set a strutter decoy out with a hen and got into the blind. We had heard no gobbles at all and I started unzipping windows when I saw a big bird at 25 yrds. My first thought was...I thought I put the decoy on the other side of the blind....then it hit me and I started trying to get him into position to shoot but the bird walked behind a brush pile and walked away only gobbling once. I told him there were more around and I called out the window a couple times and was watching all around. I stuck my box call out the window and called and looked out and there was another big bird on the other side of us at 35 yrds. I got him in position and the bird started to walk away but when I called, he turned and started back toward us. About that time the bird behind us gobbled and the one in front came in walking slowly. I told him when he got an open shot to dump it. He was shooting my Benelli SBE with 3 1/2" 5s and dropped the bird at 30 yrds. He was one excited kid. I love watching a newbs face when they get a game animal. He is a chef by trade and is supposed to make it up good and have me over to eat some. I am having a hard time getting the phone pic to my computer so I will post the pic in the next post from my phone. [/QUOTE]
