Here is the story. This morning the weather was not cooperating. It was spitting rain a little bit and windy. The birds just didn't seem to want to work to the call. I had heard some gobbles in the morning and they shut up after they flew down. I had called for a good bit using a mouth call and was ready to quit. We had purchased a call from Jeff at the nationals for my nephew Jake and he was eager to try it out. He cranked on the longbox and Boom-Gobble. I sat back and just listened and watched. He continued to call and get responses with every strike of the box call. To make a long story a little shorter the bird couldn't resist and ended up being shot at 22 yards. 6 gobblers in total came in after about 35 minutes of call. On such a bad weather day I was shocked at the success of this hunt. We all have our pockets filled with lots of great calls, but I can tell this call will produce. If it can produce birds on a morning like we had then it is a great call. Thanks again Jeff. It was 23.2 lbs, 11.1 beard, 1 1/8 spurs, but most importantly it was worth its weight in gold when you see the smile on my nephews face.
