spring 2006 was mine. my buddy calls me to head to a farm about a half hour north.(the only reason he calls me is cause he cant call them in) So i agree. I had already decided that I was gonna take my gun but my main job was to get him one on the ground. Here is the story in a nutshell

The mornin was a little cool and we was running a little late. but not late enough to matter. we get out of the truck and stop to llisten and hear nothin. As we get our gear on a lone gobbler sounds out making his presence known. maybe we will have some luck i thought. As we start to walk down to where i think we should set up the woods come alive. One after another, gobblers are everywhere. we get down set our decoys up 2 hens and 1 jake and settle in at the edge of ancut cornfield. I decide to hit the call and see what happens. it was like music to our ears. every gobbler within hearing distance answered. I take off my hat andflap it a couple times for a fly down.I keep calling for a bit and my buddy say hes coming down the field. he cut the distance between us in half.I keep goin with some light clucks and purrs. Theni see another one pop into the field. The first one comes in and starts to strut his stuff. That was all it took for the other tom. He shoots in like a missle. The first one then preceeds to kick our decoys ass. Then they start fighting each other. I tell my buddy shoot on 3. when i hit 3 shots ring out. but to my dismay both brds turn and start to run off. Like Hell. i bear down and put one in the back of his head. he starts rolling and flopping and i know he is done. i look over just in time to see my buddy shoot the second time and somehow he misses. this bird has had enough and starts to take off he decides hes had enough and flies off. we go over and look at my bird and i told my buddy i think you hit him lets go look. well we never found or saw him again. when we get back we discover that my bird had a triple beard. What a day. even though only one of us came home with a bird it was still a blast. 22 lbs and a triple beard. couldn't ask for more.
