I was out in a new spot Saturday about noon, brought along abox call I made that AM. Called a bit and waited a few minutes. 3 Jakes came in and wandered around me. As they moved offI called again and the largest one gobbled. They came back and hung around, sometimes only 5 yards from me. I finally got up but they would not spook. I called to them while standing there and the big one gobbled every time. I just walked off and left them after a few more minutes. It was pretty cool.

Season starts 4/22, so I'll be back there at some point. I'm sure there are bigger birds around too. I knowof some mature birds in another spot that I'll be targeting opening day.

Killed one this morning. 24 lbs, 10" beard, 1 3/16" spurs. Total score of 67.75

Nice bird!

I got to the Hills on thurs afternoon and it was raining and nasty but went and sat in a spot to observe movement and roosting for friday. At the end of the afternoon the flock came out and started feeding turns out they fed right to me and I shot this bird at 15 yds. Great trip even though the bird and I were soaked.
