 New spot Buddy of mine calls me and says he has a good place for me to hunt. We ride out and look at it, it looks okay just not a lot of big woods around it.We set up a spot and hope it works. Tuesday morning we get setup, not a lot a roost gobbling but there are several distant birds around us. Very little gobbling after they hit the ground, for the next few hours we get a few ''courtesy gobbles'' and that's it. Around 9:45 I make a call and a gobbler cuts me off, I call again - same thing - GAME ON!! Within minutes there are 6 strutters within range - YES 6!!!. WOW! I've never seen that many strutters in one spot! One birds throws his head up as if he senses something wrong.It's now or never. Game over! As you can see beard had started breaking off Bird answered this tube call in photos made by Mark Prudhomme. Oh yea, my buddy says we can go back again if we want Attachment:

Re: New spot Great job Barry! Really good to see you out and about. Sure wish I could train myself to use a tube, I have tried and tried and about all I can do is cut. Now go get another one!

Re: New spot Hats off to Barry for another trophy bird. Every report is special Barry. Go ahead and fill those tags. We are waiting to hear about it.

Re: New spot Congrats Barry. 6 is really something. Best I've done is 4. Now that's a good friend.
