Went out at about 6 am... saw 10 deer during the next hour (more than i saw all last deer season) called and called... NOTHING... then saw a strutter in the plowed field (map below) called for a while... NOTHING... finally i got tired of waiting and started crawling tward him... calling every little while... crawled to the top of a little knoll... laid flat on my stomach and called for a few min...  saw some movement... swung gun over and up... three jakes come trotting up and stop 6 steps from me... BOOM!!! first turkey of the yr down!!!!

(pics to follow)

 

Should I enter it in the contest? I can enter another after it right?
