Opening day double!

[Joey Herring]

Sorry guys for the late report. I've been very busy with work. I just split from my business partner and have started another business and I would appreciate it if you guys would check out my new web site. Carolinawildliferemoval.com

Opening morning we had 10-12 birds gobbling like carzy till they hit the ground. We couldn't understand why nothing came out in the feild to where we were..that was till we blasted a coyote that was running around the field. I squealed like a mouse and he almost jumped into my buddy's lap!
We decided to move to another farm at 1 pm and set up in an old farm house yard. I put out the full strutt pretty boy peeping tom and the hen. We let out 5-6 yelps and waited. Ten minutes later a nice gooble came in silent and started strutting about 70 yards out. I cut to him and gobbled back but wouldn't come any closer. We kept this up for about 10 minutes and then 2 MORE big birds came into the field silently. The first bird took one look at those guys and hauled tail!! The other two birds started strutting and took one look at the decoys and sprinted 70 yards over to them. They wallked around the Pretty boy and me and my buddy smoked em!!
They both we identical...11 inch beards and 1 inch spurs..
Oh..yea..I also found an shed right were I put the decoys!
We killed these birds at 1:30 and I killed mine last year at 1 pm. If you guys quit hunting at 9 or so...your messing up.
