Title: double trouble
Post by: Seatown5 on April 19, 2015, 06:18:06 PM: Got a Tom coming in hot at noon. I will do whatever it takes to Chase a gobble at that hour, they always die. Anyway I had just told my buddy to shoot when all of a sudden a second toM came walking in. I said wait, one two three.. he missed I knocked mine down. His gone then jammed and I smoked the second d one as it tried to get away.

Nice brace of birds!

I had some bad luck up to that point in the hunt. I had called in a bird right to my truck, no joke, used my tire as my blind. He was on a string from the time I stepped out, when I shot my gun didn't fire. He was standing ten feet off my bumper and I was up against my driver side rear tire. You can imagine the frustration because it was about to be an epic story. My buddy missed another one the next day I had called in off the roost out of private all the way to public. Bird strutted in our decoys for five minutes. Finally he shot, thought he hit it but he only smoked all our decoys. 13 steps away from him. Good grief. plenty more stories and one more great Turkey season.
