Fastest season of my life!
Finished off my season when a group of four strutting gobbling jakes came into my lone she-mobile decoy. I purred and clucked them into 25yds where I rolled out what looked to be the biggest of the 4. One shot of the 3 1/2" #5 Hevi-13 knocked him over and didnt even move after he went down. One jake took off running but the other two stayed around and pecked my downed jake, ah, only if the old man didnt have to work this morning, we would have had a double for sure. They stuck around for 10mins pecking and strutting my downed jake before they wandered off unspooked, thats the best part!
