RE: My First TOM!!! special thnx., (pic included!)
Well started friday morning, i accidentally slept in till 7, but i went out anyway. headed deep into the slashings and found a very nice opening. Before i set up, i started to call, see if i could hear any gobblers, then outta the quiet of the woods, A gobble explodes. about 120 yards west. i quickly grabbed the hen and jake decoy and stuck them in the ground. in my haste i broke the jake decoys stake, but i made it stand any way and i quickly got behind a tree. i called again, another gobble, this time much closer. I waited another minute, and i can already see his head poking through. i call one final time. he duz not reply, but he see's the decoy, and goes into full strut at 40 yards. he came in to about 30 yards, then poked his head up to look around, (i think he noticed the jake) by this time i had the gun up and ready. I let him have it at 30 yards, it was so exciting!!!! and also i forgot to include in this post, my special thanks to allof you who helped me, i put my success of this season on all the info that all of you gave me, THANX!!!!!!! also thank you to any one who ever helped a newcomer, you are all very fantastic!!!!
