  I had 17 gobblers 5 long beards and 12 jakes in front and around me from fly down to 9:30. 2 times I had jakes 8 yards the second time 4 jakes. Had all 12 under 20 but the long beards were 30 and 40 yards in the back ground. Heard 100's, littely 100's of gobbles. And had all the jakes yelping and fighting purring at once. After they left hour later had 2 more long beards go by 50 Yards But like the others they would'nt bat and eye at LUDALE AND ESIE. 19 Gobblers my personal best. I n91 I called up 8 at one time 6 long beards and  2 jakes. Me and my cousin got a doubble.

  Went back this morning who would'nt. 5 LONG BEARDS AND 4 JAKES WHEN RIGHT ON BY IN 1'S AND 2'S. Again never gave my decoys a look and put a deff ear to my yelps,clucks gobbles. I heard a gobble 200 yards behind me. He did'nt answer my yelps but was'nt long he gobbled again this time 75 yards behind me. This time he did doubble gobbled at my purrs.
  He hit the field 30 yards to my right. Eyed LUDALE AND TOOK HIM ABOUT 3 SECONDS TO LET THE AIR OUT OF LUDALE. Littlerly he's a blow up. I drew at the same time but he saw it. So I do what I always do when I'm seen. I purred as I drew. This always causes them to resatate a second or two. I've even had them stand and look stupit at me.
   My dog wood shalf with OSIDIAN head 61# OSAGE. Hit him inch low and inch back from his wing butt pentrated 8 inchs. He went 30 yards  I did'nt weigh him but I'd say 17,18 pounds 8 1/2 inch beard with 3/4 spurrs a 2 year old. I was happy to just hit the 29 gobbler in 2 days while hunting. I ve never seen 29 in a season, my best is 21 in a season. 13'th gobbler with a self bow 3'nd with knapped heads. Not bad from walking distance of the house. Let me say I've hunted there 5 other times this season and have only seen 2,3 a day. Knew there were more there seen them scouting. Even saw a flock of 16 jakes before break up.
   I MAY TAKE MONDAY OFF. NOT

   Can't post pic's the kid left and so did my camra. Never was into lieing. Im also a turkey nut and hunt every day. But I can ad a little advice. USE A DECOY, ALWAYS SET UP WITH YOUR BACK TO THE TURKEYS OR SET UP WHERE HE HAS TO GO PAST YOU TO SHOOT, ALWAYS I MEAN ALWAYS BE READY TO PURR IF SEEN WHEN DRAWING. This will always by you a couple seconds. My granddad taught me this and he killed over 300 gobblers. O f corsr he hunted 86 springs and 4 or 5  states each spring These are musts when bow hunting.
