3 dead Rios in Kansas

I came home a day early from Kansas after hearing tornado warnings on the radio.  I killed one big gobbler and called in 2 more for my buddy Mike.  These were the first Rio Grande birds for both of us and we are now 3/4 of the way to our grand slams.  Mine ended up being the biggest and thankfully since I missed one the day before.  The snakewood trumpet was deadly the entire week, making several Toms do a 180 and leave their hens on many occasions.  Now I'm back home in Wisconsin and will be hunting more later this week.

Congratulations Brian! I killed another gobbler here in Alabama with one of your slates. cluck, cluck, yelp, yelp scratch, scratch and then boom was pretty much the story. Took all of about 2 minutes. Old boy came running.

Awesome! Congrats on another Alabama bird!.  I killed a Wisconsin bird this morning with a trumpet call and that hunt was all of about 2 minutes as well.
