cj5--I negelected to mention . . . the hens were all on my side and the 4 that went to him easily and readily crossed the stream to get to him! [:@]

spitndrum--two years ago on the same property, I called a nice gobbler across a wide creek--at least 20' across. That same year I called another giant gobbler--nearly the same size as this one--out of a field full of his hens, just to respond to my cutting (also on the same property). I know they hang up sometimes, but this one was a true trophy. Really a huge gobbler with beautiful colors and a big, perfect fan.

Still have 3 more days though!
