I took my son out for his first overnight trip away from momma. After being kept up all night by the idiots shooting guns

into the wee hours we went to a different area the next morning. He had done real well keeping quiet the day before and was getting pretty good on the box call. I had forgotten to give him the talk about slamming the truck door. It ended up being a blessing in disguise though. His door slam triggered some dogs to bark on the private land about 400 yards away and in turn prompted a tom to gobble at the dogs. After moving up the road behind a gate we were able to call this bird into range after about an hour of coaxing. He had 3 hens with him which is why he took so long. He got greedy and it cost him his life. It turned out to be a great couple days that neither of us will soon forget. And I'll never let my wife know it but he didn't ask for her once

Those are some great pics and great memories. Always a good time getting a youngster on a bird! Congrats

The car door slam is a rarely used but highly effective locater call too. Used it on several occassions myself
