O.K. heres the story.... Been seeing lots of birds around my place, so I built a nice little ground blind behind the house. My seven year old and I were in it at first light. Lots of gobbling throughout the morning around us. A few hens came to our calls early, but spooked away. About 8:00 am I heard that distinct spittin and drumming sound right behind us. I slowing turned my head to see a big tom in full strut 10 yards away. I was able to turn around, draw my bow and shoot him in full strut at about 12 yards. I put another quick insurance shot into him, and the hootin and hollaring began. It was sure exiting, and a special experience to share with my son. Heres a pic of him holding "our" bird. Notice our blind in the background.

Great job! Gotta love it when the "drive" to your hunting spot is short.

Thanks guys, I got another big tom patterned, and I think we'll try for him after school today. I'm thinking I'll pack the 20 guage tonight for a little change, plus this groundblind would be tough to bowhunt out of.

Yesterday evening I hunted with my son out of another groundblind, where I had a group of turkeys patterned heading to roost. They came by like clockwork, just out of range. I just couldnt lure the big gobbler in with my single hen decoy. Today I moved a little closer, and hunted out of a treestand with my bow. This time I added a jake decoy to my setup. When the group came through, it looked like they were going to pass just out of range again, until the dominant gobbler saw that jake. He strutted right in, and I was able to shoot him at close range right next to the jake decoy. Picture perfect hunt! Except I did miss a coyote about an hour earlier that was obviously attracted to my hen calls. Oh Well. Been a great turkey season for me. Good luck to all.
