Struck out with my second season tag but went out this morning with a friend who had a bow tag. We were done at 6:20am
He'd seen a bird strutting in the same place for several days so we set a blind up on the field edge. Didn't hear too much gobbling. But about 6:00am we saw a gobbler sneaking into the field to our right. The bird started coming in but went back into the timber behind us when a second bird entered the field behind him. While watching the second bird we lost track of the first one until we looked at the decoys. The first bird was coming around the side of the blind and into the decoys. A 10-yard shot put him down.

I've got several other pictures of friends birds I'll have to try post. Our local sporting goods store (Fin & Feather) scores everyone's turkey and puts their pictures on the bulletin board. They had 117 birds brought in so far. They've said the average weight of the birds is a little lighter this year.
