Had the day off because of the rain so decided to take the kids out Turkey hunting. On the way into the farm we seen a Tom run off. We setup in a ground blind about 200 yards from where we seen the Tom and called for about 2 hours without hearing or seeing anything. So I went back to the truck and got another ground blind and setup another 200 yards or so to the North and shortly after got a gobble back! I played with him for a while but he just circled us and never really presented a good shot for the crossbow. We then moved back to the other side of the property and called every few min for about an hour and a half and had two nice Toms and a hen work in and was able to take the largest at 35 yards! My children Had a great time and my Daughter Lydia had an adrenaline rush, I could see her shaking! I was amazed they stuck it out for 6 hours never wanted to go back home, Just wanted to keep trying till we got One.
