Lots of calls at first light then they all ran off to water and not in front of me.
Was the first time hunting with a few new buddies and appreciated them letting me take the first shot

Started hearing faint gobbles in the distance and gave my new slate call a few clucks.
Heard two birds come closer and then get farther away...
Gave another cluck or two with a purr, only to hear a loud gobble right behind my blind, darn ninja...
The solo tom came in hot an bothered to my decoy and was practicing the strut & spin.
Waited for him to flash his rear to me so I could get into position.
One and done., home by 9am...
Not the biggest beard (~5") but nice spurs and weighed in at 21lbs (pre-dress).
Will be eating delicious turkey cutlets tomorrow night along with smoking a leg or two.
