Me and my uncle got in the blind at about 6am this morning. He called for about 30min and then we started to hear a gobble. My uncle was able to call him into about 75yds from my blind but there was just something that the turkey didn't like.( he was a very old bird) He turned and started off into the woods, so we gave him about 15 min and then started our pursuit. We worked our way in front of him and set up in the woods to get him when he came off the ridge. We heard him working the too of the ridge and decided to move spots again. We ended up trying to get ahead of him for about 5 miles all together. At our last spot in the woods my uncle talked to him for a good hour but we just couldn't get him to come into sight. We finally decided to go back to the blind and rest for awhile. While we were sitting in the blind my uncle called his boss back and was checking into work when a hen appeared out of nowhere and was talking to our decoys about 20yds in front of the blind. We looked over to the left and saw three big old gobblers in pursuit, so we just sat back and waited on them to come in. She called them right in to our decoys and one gobbler ducked into the woods and right before the second one disappeared into the woods my uncle gave a quick call and he stopped and put his head up and KABOOOOOM! I got my first turkey!!! I took him into the taxidermist and he weighed in at 22lbs, 1 1/2" spurs and an 11" beard.
