My last hunter and I had some really great hunts. Two mornings ago I called and got an immediate answer, we quickly put on our gloves and head nets, then I called again, the birds gobbled back and had already cut the distance in half, we quickly sat down and I called a few more times, the birds sounded like we should be able to see them anytime. Suddenly one bird comes into view on the right and pauses for a strut but he's not clear for a shot, I called again and he dropped his tail and came almost straight for us as I heard another bird gobble to our left. The bird on the right came through some brush but there simply was not a good clear shot, suddenly he emerged into an open spot only about 15 yards in front of us, whammo, as the bird flies off I whispered "you missed, quick, turn left and stay still", I called a couple more times, suddenly the 2nd bird stepped out at 30 yards less than a minute from the last shot, I whispered "take him when you can", whammo, bird down. We took pictures and then headed for Willow creek Taxidermy. John weighed the bird, a 15 pound two year old. Not real heavy but he was in perfect condition, had an 8 1/2 beard, and was the guy's first bird, it's getting mounted in full strut. I love it when a plan comes together.That was my turn coat hunting partner. We hunted LPO last week. He missed a Jake. First time turkey hunting for him.We came home and he booked a hunt with you. Got two birds with you.He booked with you next year and wanted me to come. Nope not my thing.I do not mind coming home empty handed. When I get my first bird it will be because I located it, set up on it, called it and killed it.He had nothing but good things to say about your operation.Now I am looking for another Turkey hunting partner. You ruined this one. I want you to know that during the 3 days he hunted here he bragged about his good hunting friend who he says is the best hunter he knows. Yes that's right, every day he bragged about how great of person you are and how good of hunter you are. He's still the same guy he was before he came here and he still has the same respect for you, it would be sad for you to throw that away. Something to consider!
