thats a great follow up. congrats bucky

Headed back to the same spot where my son and I tried on Monday when I started this thread. Got a gobble in response right away to my owl hoot. They were in nearly the same place as last time. Armed with the advice I gathered from here, I crept in to no more than 100 yards from the bird I could hear and set up along the edge ofa field. I snuck no more than 15 yards into the field to set up my decoys, and I crawled slowly out and back. I don;t believe that thye could see me, but I wasn't taking any chances. I was there 30 minutes before shooting time, so I had plenty of time to set up. They gobbled pretty steadily startingabout shooting time formore than a half hour . It was overcast and foggy today, so I guess that's why they stayed in the trees so long. I decided I wouldn't makea single call until they flew down (it wasn't easy not to call, but thanks for the advice guys). They stopped gobbling about 30 minutes after shooting time and didn't gobble at all forabout 15 minutes.I thought that maybe they busted me again, or that maybe they just flew down without me hearing them and walked off. Then I saw one sailing down into an opening in the cut off to my right.I gave him about a minute to settle down and then I just clucked lightly a few times. I saw him moving toward the field, so I got ready. As I was waiting for him, I saw two white heads approaching from my left. They headed straight for my decoys.As near as i could tell, they were both about the same size.I had to wait a couple of agonizing minutes since they were so close together that I couldn't kill one without getting the other. Finally they separated and I took one. 19 lbs 11oz, 8 1/2 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs (Dang, my boy always one ups me )

Anyway, thanks again for all the advice.
