For the past 2 years, I have been giving a free turkey hunt away at our Sunday school Christmas party. At this party last year, 2 guys fought hard to get the hunt. I felt bad for the guy who lost, so I decided to take both of them. Bobby’s hunt came up first and we headed to my FL club. It had just stopped raining and the weather man called for it to be clearing up.

We got settled in that morning and we did not hear any gobbling off the roost. We had some hens come by our setup. One stopped to peck my hen decoy in the head. Then about 9:30, we heard a gobble down the road. I called to him for about 30 minutes and he would not commit. I changed to a different box call and he came in like on a string, as you can see in the below video.

One thing interesting about this hunt was the fact that this 2 year old came to the real hen decoy and tried to breed her. I have never seen that before. Normally they try to go over and beat up on the Jake decoy first.

Anyway, Bobby made a great shot and bagged his first turkey. You can tell he was a happy hunter in the video.
