Congrats. We had a great year here in NC. All the kids I took had opprtunities and three young ladies all shot nice gobblers. One of the last mornings, my buddy and I had my daughter in the blind, and we tripled up. First strutter flew down, saw our set up and ran in. Bird was down at 6:30am by my daughters A400 and a load of #4 heavy shot. 12 minutes later, two other long beards flew down, saw our set up and came in. One mounted my daughters dead bird still in the decoys, and the other mounted the lay down hen. It took some time to get them away from the decoys, but once away and clear, it was, 1-2-bang. Three birds down. Icing on the cake was mine was a double beard as well. These are the mornings we remember forever and so great to share with family and friends.
