After not hearing one gobble all yesterday this morning started out great! Walking in i could hear birds gobbling on the roost a bunch! got to my blind (pre set-up) right @ 5:30 and quickly put out a feeding hen decoy and setup in the blind... i lightly yelped a few times to get the attention of the gobbler in the roost 150 yrds or so from where i was... he fired up right away gobbling like mad! once he flew down he pretty much came on the run an stopped @ about 40 yards strutting and gobbling... i just sat there for close to 1/2 an hour and enjoyed the show, calling every little while to keep him fired up... i wasnt gonna shoot cause i was thinking "ahhh too small prob a jake" at about 6:20 he came in to10 yards i couldnt resist anymore and decided to put a round of #3's thru his neck... upon closer inspection i found he actualy is a good sized bird! with an 8 1/2" beard and 1" spurs! all in all it was an awesome morning!!!!! cant wait to get my 2nd bird now!!!

I don't think that turkey is as comfortable in that seat as you might have been. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha yea! Quick hunting tip: that is a Coleman 3 leg camping stool... Bought it for about $10 at Walmart and camo wrapped the legs with breakup infinity duck tape... Also spray painted the seat and carrying bag flat black since they were red... Works great and is comfortable
