 Thank you, my post might have been a bit misleading. We actually killed one a piece, but had to take turns posing for pics.lol A beautiful hunt none the less. We had five two year olds come in gobbling their heads off. He was set up thirty yards behind me. They ended up in my lap and I had to wait a bit to shoot the way they were moving and carrying on to keep from hitting multiple birds. Finally I got a shot and took it. At the shot one bird gobbled and four started walking away. I motioned for him to slip up behind me hoping he'd get a shot too. The birds were focused on the downed Tom and he slipped up behind me enough to be in range but he was afraid to shoot because they had moved just enough to my left he wasn't comfortable shooting past me. With the birds still puzzled I started calling on my diaphragm and they put on the brakes. One of the four came running to my downed bird aggressively to jump on him which gave my neighbor a safer shot! It was one of those hunts that only happens once in a long long time.lol Second bird was down at 6:30am. We had only been set up ten minutes before they showed up! I've had so many great hunts over the years it's hard to pick the best or a favorite but this one definitely ranks very near the top! You just never know:) Good luck be safe guys

 Well I managed to tag out this morning with a beautiful longbeard. I'm very blessed and thankful for such an awesome hunt once again. Good luck!
