My son in law #2 has never got a bird before and he found a "HOTSPOT" so we made an assault saturday.   Birds hadn't been harassed to his knowledge and there were several longbeards along with a gang of jakes.   Decided on a strutter  and a submissive hen even tho I HATE DECOYS!    Birds gobbled on both sides of us and a hen was roosted real close too so she squawked at my calls and gobblers responded to both of us.  At flydown  the HERD came around the corner  and came running  stopping at 20 yards in front about 10 yards from decoys. 2 longbeards and 8-10 jakes  PERFECT since SIL's nova had a stuck modified choke but did load him with 3" #7's heavyshot.   He rolled him with others hanging out gobblin at my cuts but 40-45 yards on the second longbeard was a little too far for my 20 with HW 7's so gun stayed in my lap.   His first bird and had triple beards 11, 9-1/4, 7 inches with needlesharp hooks both at 1-3/8.   Fistbumped and he said this is easy, I replied YEA RIGHT!    Told him that bird going to be hard to beat!   To top it off it was my birthday, what a BLAST getting him his first bird and a MONSTER at that, hens starting to nest so now hopefully gonna be my turn soon.

Wow! What a gobbler. Congrats!
