Well had a lot of gobbling. Got real good video footage. Had Jakes come in and chase longbeards off. Or hang one longbeard up. The camera guy was going nuts on the first hunt keeping up with the birds. Had some Jakes go by us at 10 feet. Only to turn around and chase a real good longbeard 25 yds in front of the shooter. I tried to stop them with a gobble. But they were on a mission. Then had a big old gobbler and his hens come . The hens came right in he stood at 60 yds for an hour. Real good hooks on him. But day one was pretty exciting for the kids they saw and heard some crazy stuff. Headin out. Hopefully a couple will wanna give up the ghost today?

We had a repeat on Sunday lots of Jakes. And Jakes running off longbeards. But video footage and gobbling longbeards. Just never had a good shot for the kids to take. Had four longbeards coming across the field right at us. At about the 80 yd mark. 5 Jakes came out. And got one heck of a fight on camera. Then the birds seemed to forget about the hen in the wood line. First year since 2004 no birds hit the ground for the youngsters. I was disappointed but the kids weren't so it was all good.
