called in my first bird
 

Well for those of you that read the other post excited and nervous. i said that i was brinign out some of my cousins on youth day to try to call in a bird well when we got there it was still pitch black and i could see the birds in the trees and we were very quit so they were never alerted well. it starteed to get light out and they were gobbling all around us. we heard them fly down then they saw them in the feild they were about 100 yards out and then i got them to about 50 and they hung up so i switched from my box call to my mouth call and that got the birds behind me all fired up they were 100 yards gobbling and then the gobblers in the front came into about 30 yards and the birds behind us were about 50 so we figured it was time befor the once behind us spoiked because they were almost untop of us. So my cousin shot and rolled him at about 25 maybe 30 yards it wasent the biggest bird it was a jake 3 inch beard 1/4 inch spurs his first bird my first time calling one in for someone it was very exciting going back out tommorow to get one of my own we were a little close to the roost but it worked in the end thanks for all the tips you guys gave me on calling from reading the posts
