Title: Before & after
Post by: CallMaker on May 22, 2009, 06:21:51 PM: Yesterday was a good day in the turkey woods. Called this guy in about 5:00 PM with one of my scratchbox calls and one of my wingbones. Worked him for almost an hour before he presented a shot. Finally took the shot at 5 yards and he went only about 30 after the hit.

Before:
