Today is opening day of youth season in MO. I took DTC Jr and we crawled in the blind well before daylight. It wasn't long and we could here 4-5 birds gobbling way to our south. About 5 mintues later a tom and jake fired up behind us at about 80 yards, and then another tom started gobbling right in front of us. He looked at me and said, "dad, we are covered up in gobblers." I grinned b/c I knew his excitement! Around 7:10 I heard the tom in front of us fly down. We gave him some soft clucks and purrs and he kept cutting me off. I knew we were in business. He gobbled about 3 or 4 more times and I never gave him anything. About 10 later I could here him spitting and drumming. I told my son, "he's close!" Shortly I could see the top of his fan. I reached over and turned the video camera on and hit record. (tripods are great in blinds) The bird came up to about 22 yards strutting and gobbling. I gave him a soft put to raise his head and that was it. 24.5 lbs, 9.5" beard, and 7/8" spurs. It was another great memory in the double bull blind.
