you weren't the only one, we had a 1 shot 1 miss wknd.  the best part, and ill never forget it while the tom is coming in full strut, putting on a show my son asks "dad how do i get my body to stop shaking"  later i told him "just wait till you have a buck or bull coming in, if a turkey got your adrenaline going"

Congrats!

We had a mishap too. Not a miss but after being in front of a big group of Jake’s and Tom’s for 1.5 hours a time finally popped out feeding at about 30 yards. My oldest dropped him and he was flopping. Then he proceeded to get up and run away over 900 yards over the hill in the wheat field never to be seen again.

My son went 2 for 2 on the evening of opening day, now I don't have a partner for the general season!

I beg to differ, you'll have a shadow and a caller.  Hand him a box call and have fun.

Here is the video. A little insight on what happened 🤣 I wanted them to get a double. 1 tom came in. The other 2 hadn’t flown down yet. I was waiting for a second to come in(knowing there were 3 roosted) so they could double. The first bird got spooky so I decided one was better than none and told her to shoot. Then I saw why I believe he was spooky, the second tom running in full send! He got to the decoy and I told her to shoot him and then immediately saw the third one running in so said wait! Shoot one in right and you shoot the one on the left. Well the one stood still while the other was moving his head around a bunch so we only got 1. The decoy being knocked over didn’t help my cause for getting the other one to come back in. He wanted to, he was 80 yards away strutting and gobbling but knew something wasn’t right.
