BEST HUNT OF MY LIFE!
Had my beautiful wife with me, and had this tom LITERALLY in our laps for 10 minutes!
He was determined to find where he was hearing the "hen" and since we were each just sitting motionless against a tree, he was spitting and drumming within 36 INCHES of us! This was my first time hunting IN the forest.
You talk about a rush! I didn't take the shot until he looked like he was going to lose interest. WOW.. what a show!

A bit of advice... don't try and take that turkey foot from her! She gets so excited when I gt home with a bird because she knows she's gonna get the feet.
