I took my sister out today and she connected with a nice tom. We got up at 5 but it was pouring and she said she didnt want to go in the rain. We waited until around 10:30 and headed for the woods. When we got to our spot there was 6 turkeys in the field and they ran for the woods as soon as they saw the truck. We jumped out of the truck and set up just inside of the woods. I let out a few yelps and a tom answered. He gobbled a few more times and less than 5 min later I could see the group working toward us. There were 5 jakes and a tom. They got into shooting range and I kept telling her to shoot the tom but she said there was a tree in front of her . When she could finally see him he was only 8 yards and she dropped him. It was great. He was 20 lbs, had 1 inch spurs, and had 2 beards 10.5 inches and 6.5 inches. To top it off I got it all on video.
