Well my best friend called me at 3:00 this afternoon and asked me if I wanted to go try our luck at a local farm we like to hunt. We got there at 4:30 pm and got set up, its only 75 acres but it holds a lot of birds. We sat back to let the woods calm down and after about 10 minutes I looked to my left and there stood a gobbler 100 yds out. I give him a soft yelp on one of the slate calls that I make and boom he gobbled right back so I give him another yelp and a cutt and 20 seconds later he was 15 yds away and I greeted him with a load of Hevi Shot. This might be the shortest hunt I have ever had so I ran out and got the bird and sit back down, we waited about 10 minutes and started to call again and boom we got an answer right back from about 150 yds into the swamp that borders the property we hunt on. We worked this bird for an hour and fifteen minutes, but when we both started purring and whining it was more than he could stand he came right at us and he was also greeted with a load of Hevi Shot. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!!!!

Man that's awesome, especially given the wind we had. I cut the grass in the wind today and could barely hear the motor in front of me.

Congrats on the great birds

Were you hunting in Carroll County?

How windy was it out there on Sunday afternoon?

It was windy elsewhere in GA.
