It was so awesome to be apart of this hunt with Tom. We worked hard and road hard for fore days. My body hurt so bad but we kept going. We had birds gobbling but they all had a lady with them. The last day of are hunt and almost out to the truck I said a prayer. We came up to a turn in the road and a pipe line. Tom's friend Dick made a call with his mouth call. I thought we would hear something because it sounded real good. I pulled out my deadly double and made a yelp and the big guy gobbled. We got set up me to the right and Dick sitting behind Tom. Dick made a couple clucks and I did some yelps. I knew after the second gobble we had him hooked. But we did not know he had a partner. I seen the first one come out and he was a big boy. I put my gun on him and waited. Tom waited then I seen why the old strutter came into sight. Then Tom shot and down he went. I have to tell you I had a tear in my eyes. This is why I went to Tom's camp to get him his first gobbler. A great hunt with one of the best guys in the world. Thanks Tom for one of the best week I have ever had and best hunts.
