Waiting for pictures. Long beards, jakes, hell, at this point I'll take pictures of old dead toms.

You need to be diligent about converting from left to right, especially where politics are concerned, leave alone shooting.
We had a good day out a young fella on his first turkey ! Memories for ever for that boy and his father .. wish we were still on in the am rain way better than wind and they wanted ti hunt regardless of conditions.. just thankful for the opportunity and maybe we can get back at them ..

Great morning with Otto-Matic...Complete gobblefest to the south of us, but the birds that had been roosting where my zone is, were gone...At about 7:45, we put our 1st visual on turkeys...2 hen and a long...They got to about 90 yds from us when they came to a screeching halt...They either didn't like the hen decoy (they couldn't see the jake) or they saw some kind of movement....Whatever it was, they turned and walked away...At 8:30, we got a hen yelping back to Jacob's calling (glass pot)...150 yds away, we see 2 big toms and then below them, 3 jakes show...They start coming to the call and then see the DSD jake decoy...One goes into strut and hot foots it right into the jake...I'm about to tell Otto, "Let me get the video started" and Kaboom...Down goes Mr. Jake...Otto's 1st turkey... 
ps...2 othe turkeys were takem and there were 2 misses...Tomorrow's hunts have been canceled because of the rain...Hopefully, we'll reschedule in May.

Same with my #1, conceived on a Turkey hunt
I hope we can in May, #2 was crushed when I told him it was canceled after #1 came home telling him how awesome it was.
Steve, you really have done great with this and select great mentors. Paul was very fatherly with Jake and I appreciate that. He treated him very well and spoke like a man to him. I’m glad to have youth old enough to do this finally instead of watching for posts!
Smiles for days!

Crisp and cool today, much better action. The 3 generation hunt was successful and he read the script. 
Flew Dad in from the Big Island for the action.
Nice Tom young man. One you will remember forever.

Invited a father/son team up to my place this weekend while I was away working for a living and got an e-mail that it was one of the fastest hunts they have ever had. Congrats to them !
Apparently three toms and a couple jakes got stupid within a few minutes

I’m thinking it helps. If your dad is one of the best turkey callers in the county.
