Well jersey hunter showed up on time ,, each had a cup of coffee,,
Took one with us,, on the drive to our new huntin ground I told jersey hunter we would sit together and try to pull a double..
This would be the first time I called by myself.As we got to the posted ground & got everything on it was time to start walkin.
We got a little over half way there and a Tom opened up from down in the low land.just what I was hopin.We got too the Shield Blind
just in time when the birds opened up all around us,,My heart started poundin & the shotgun jersey hunter had up & ready started shakin..
Well it was time too do my best on callin ,, pulled out the box call
gave it a cluck ,then another cluck,, jersey said here come 2 birds
1 long beard & a nice size jake, they held up just out of range,
pulled out the call "T" sent me gave it a couple of clucks & a purrrr
that jake came in on a dead run,but the big boy held up..
Told jersey hunter if you can take him shoot, no sooner said BANG!!!!
Jersey hunter got his first bird,,
It got still, so I told him to head back to the truck ,Try some RUN & GUN,, i REMEMBERED I heard birds in back of us ,so off I went,,still shakin & heart poundin.Walked about 500yards down an old roadthe land own told me about, found a grassy spot & hit the "T" call, 50
yards in frount of me they opened up,, put out the decoy , sat back
& called again 45 yards spotted a head comin up the side of the hill.
2 jakes & 1 long beard, the long beard did not like something and started running , so I hit the "T" call and that big fat jake started struttin, got about 40 yards,, BANG, never made a move,,
OUR HUNT WAS OVER ,, HAD TO SIT & PINCH MYSELF TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T DREAMIN, BUT WE ~~~~~GOT~~R~~DONE

There is nothing more exciteing than calling in the toms,,those are some nice jakes and should be great eatin. That is one nice litle call too,,who ever made it is a true craftsman.
