I arrive like other days at 5:45 on one of my best spots , the rain make they dont want to gobble early in the morning so I keep quiet almost 2 hours , then on my right I saw another 2 hunters with a big turkey strut and both behind the decoy like youtube videos , some hens saw the hunters before they see the gobbler so they flight over the trees all around me 8 hens and 2 gobblers, the gobblers fly 7 or 800 yds , hens just 100 yds away the hunters, them they come straight to my decoy and they want shoot my jake, so I stand up and the look me and move to other place , I wait 1 hour more anc call with box and 3 gobbler answer, 30 min later I call and not answer , so i wait another 45 min and call again this time with glass slate and have a gobble at 70 yds on my left, put call down and take gun less than 1 min the big gobbler come fight my decoy, turkey down at 15 yds,
