On saturday my uncle and I headed out to the timber at 5:00. We got set up and a bird started gobbling where he thought hed be since weve hunted this bird this spring at least 3 other times so we set up by him and he gobbled at least 100 times on the roost. After he got on the ground he started coming closer to us gobblin his head off we couldnt see him but we figured he was 75 yards over this little hill we got to the right of us and screamin his head off i had readjust myself so i tried to move slowly and we heard puttin and he was gone hens saw me and after that we had a jake and a hen come out into the field and pretty soon here comes a coyotte running down the hill and chases them off. So after that we stayed put and got on another bird but it started raining so it shutup so we sat till the rain stopped. We got up and moved to part of the land we hadnt touched all day to see if we could strike somethin up and we got on the edge of the timber and my uncle did some yelping and 2 birds gobbled back and they did it again we figured they were on the other side of the timeber in the field so we went around through the timber and got on the edge of the field and did some yelping and they gobbled back farther down where we couldnt see and 2 more birds gobbled back where we came from so we crawled up a hill and my uncle says stop he sees a hen below so we sit there and wait and they stop gobbling and 5 minutes later we both look up and here comes this tom running in to us and im laying on my belly and my uncles on his knees and we cant move he keeps comin and i cant see him that well when i get down on my gun but he finally stops and gets nervous and theres another tom comin behind him at 50 yards but my uncle tells me to kill him and i roll him at 11:30 at 13 yards 20.5 lbs 9 inch beard NO SPURS weird but it was deffintley a tom but i filled both of my tags this year in Iowa thanks to my uncle!
