Hey guys, long time no see!

Passed up going out on opening morning here in Va, too cold & windy for this old man! I figured once that front moved out it should be some good hunting...and good it was. Little brother and I got set up early. Heard some roost gobbling then all was quiet for 2 hours or more. At 8:30 a bird announced himself. We figured he was 400-500 yards away so I quickly let him know where we were.
Long story short, much like the hunt, we soon had 3 birds strutting in the dekes. These birds covered some ground in a hurry, cutting off every note from my tube call . After letting little bro get some video I waited for birds to separate for a clean shot and at 8:42 I had one flopping.
Couldn't ask for a better first hunt! Nice 3 year old, sorry didn't get spur pics and I didn't even measure the beard...I am old!

Here's a pic with the  bird resting on what's left of our old blind.



Little Brownie pill can, maybe my new favorite call, the birds just ate it up!
