Tried opening weekend and had several gobbling but would not come in. Went out this morning and the weather sucked, windy, light rain and nothing headed out and was going to call it a day and decided to try one more call and then bam, gobble, set my nephew up and the decoy and backed off and kept calling and he kept on coming. Problem was he came in on my side and not where I had my nephew at. I took the shot and down he went.
My nephew however got his first shot at a jake that was hanging around the Tom. He missed but he was excited. He did not see the Tom until I shot it. Going back out this afternoon and try and get him his first bird. The funniest part was when I asked how it felt to shot the 12 guage and he said with a huge grin I did not feel a thing....
