Got out of church today and went to my parents house to visit and went out on the porch and talking and decided to go to my truck and pull out a crow call about 1:30. I blew it and a bird gobbled just in hearing distance. Dad said did you hear that and I was already getting my cloths out to change! Went into the woods about 1/2 a mile and crow called again. Gobble gobble again. Found me a good tree and called with a SEMPER FIDELIS CALL by Dave Beckman and got another response. About 45 minutes went by and I called again and he was probably 60 yards in front of me. I put the gun to my shoulder and within a minute or so he was at 35 yards neck stretched and boom!! 21.5 pound 10 1/4 beard and 1" spurs.
