Yesterday started the same way it has since the beginning of the season . The Doemaster/torture master

![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
We got to the spot picked out about 30 minutes before legal . This gave my back and hip time to rest against a uncomfortable tree .
Well daybreak comes and goes . NOT A SOUND !!!!!!
We waited for about a half hour and Kevin decides we need to move . Further away from the truck .
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
We set up in a nice spot that looked like a possible strutting area . We spent another half hour there . STILL NOT A SOUND !!!
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
But dragging my butt we move once again . Further from the truck .
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
We set up close enough to a field that maybe something might hear us . So we sat and waited doing the odd call here and there .
About 8:00 we stand up to stretch . Kevin breaks out another call once again . He said it was a call he had won last year for the Turkey contest on the forum . ( Cane Creek custom glass call) . Well he proceeds to stroke out some ear piercing kee`s kee`s

The hunt is on !!!
We sat down and started to call . Let me tell you they don`t move very fast when they are strutting . He comes down the side of the field then all of a sudden turns left into another block of woods off of the property .

This whole scenario took 15 minutes of adrenaline pumping excitement . My heart was pounding like I was running a marathon .

While walking out we decided it was a good idea to also take a picture with the game changing call .

It has been a good season that I got to spend with my two sons doing what I instilled into them from an early age . A deep respect for the Great Outdoors and her bounty .
Here is a video of some of my excitement .
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
