We had 9 toms 6 hens drop out of the trees with in 40 yards .The turkey where going nuts walking all around us .well we get 2 big toms in line one for my son and one for me .I make sure he set then i get on mine well a bigger one was off to my right so i switch turkeys and started the count 1 2 3 on 3 we shoot well just as i got to 3 Calvin's turkey took a step behind a tree ,so i shoot and dont hear calvin shoot so i look at him he said it moved right on 3 dad  sorry buddy . well that sucks he did not get the shot off . he wants to go do it again tomorrow  :z-winnersmiley: :z-winnersmiley:
