I had to drive a friend around today and when he was off doing his thing I decided to sit in the truck with the windows down and practice with one of my trumpets. After about 15 minutes in the rear view mirror I saw four male turkey coming to my calls. I had to crank my neck around over my left shoulder to see them as they crossed the road behind me and into the woods on the left so I am not sure if they were jakes or toms but it really boosted my confidence in my playing, though it still needs a lot of work. I was also surprised because there were 12-15 MPH winds at the time and they still heard me and I was playing pretty quietly most of the time.
That's cool, confidence is hugely important.

Yes, especially when you are down on yourself when it comes to your playing. My GF tells me I am getting better all the time but I do not see it, I did today though!

I kinda wondered because of the guy leading them by a kite string.
Those Bob Buckner calls have a tendency to call em in. I know that for a fact.
