The Good Lord really blessed me this year! I ended my Georgia season this morning about 8:15. Not a single gobble before 8:00. So I decided to skip to a ridge that has always held some gobblers. I happened to sneak up on some hens. I have no clue if they saw me or not, but I slipped up next to a tree and sat down and got ready just in case. I called pretty soft and a jake yelped back and then the gobbler fired off for the first time. I ended up calling the jake in and he spotted me. The gobbler luckily was coming from the other direction. He gobbled again and I pulled him in with some soft yelps. I did take a lengthy shot because he also spotted me. Guess it's hard to camo a 300lbs fella!? 
but Hal's Big 20XL did some work on him. But he only gobbled 3 times. Again, super blessed this year is an understatement!

I tried to edit my post on the Tapatalk app. Couldn't get it to work. So I just added the other pics in a reply. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200329/26aecf6b6d50bc8951d2a02d7395df87.jpg)

Congratulations! I enjoy the picture with the river in the background. I don't know why, but I love pictures with water as the backdrop!

Congratulations!!
I've got one more to go, but trying to stretch it a little further.
