I called in this tom for my son Garric yesterday morning 15 minutes into opening day. This was his first after two unsuccessful seasons. We put a group to bed the night before and were in position well before daylight the next morning. This was a feat itself as we were 4 miles in behind a locked gate on public land. After the birds strutted in spitting and drumming and Garric starting to hyperventilate I gave him the go ahead for the 15 yrd shot. A very special day and a well deserved bird!

Sweet! Did he pack it out all four miles like that

. Be a good idea to get a little orange on that bird if you are packing it any real distance on public land.....even on youth weekend. Awesome time for you and him for sure

No, dad had the pleasure of packing it out and it was fully enclosed in a turkey vest/pack. That picture was taken about 10 feet from where he killed it so we were safe and most guys were still in bed

. I agree. There are a lot of yaahoo's out there that don't identify their targets before pulling the trigger. Great advise for all to adhere to.

Garric says thank you for all the kind words. He already wants to know when I'm going to be able to get it mounted up

bobcat · « **Reply #18 on:** April 04, 2016, 01:00:28 PM »

Awesome! Only 15 yards away like that would be very exciting.
