Boys first Tom

[WNCTracker]

He's gotten some jakes but never a tom. This was a fun one. Took 45 mins to get in range. I've been practicing gobbling with a diaphragm and decided to give it a try and it worked well. When they lost interest I'd gobble and they'd be curious enough to come closer and look around. One got to 40 yds but my boy couldn't see it due to the lay of the land so I got to watch another 10 minutes of a Tom strutting in shooting range just waiting for him to walk left. He ended up being in my boys sight at 30 yds and he dropped him.

Congrats!  Great job.  Neither one of you guys will ever forget that hunt.


Never had much luck gobbling, but really haven't tried it much either I guess.  Pretty cool that worked for yah.

Well done sir!  That is how you hook the next generation for life!  That must have been incredibly exciting!
