Title: Opening Day Blue Mountain Birds
Post by: Turkeyslammer on April 30, 2010, 07:50:06 AM: It was hard to get the wife up at 0300 on opening day, it turned out to be worth it. We heard some gobbling a about 0530 so I started calling , they answered back. It wasn't long before we saw em. There were five jakes and a big tom. I called again with a couple of loud clucks and they came running. They all ran right up to the B-mobil decoy @15 yds. I told the wife to shoot the tom and I wopuld take one of the jakes. 0630 two birds down!!
The tom had a 9" beard and 3/4" spurs, it ended up being a great hunt.
