Title: No Longer A Virgin!!
Post by: BigTomsCalls on May 05, 2011, 07:03:44 AM

I meet Al a couple of years ago while hunting State property. He belonged to a hunting camp that bordered the state land. It seemed that every time Lou and I ran into him and his buddy Brian, Lou and I were carrying out a gobbler. They had been hunting for 6 years and had never called in a gobbler!! I offered to take them out and show them what I have learned over the years. Al & Brian flipped a coin to see who would go out with me on openeing day and Al was the winner. I had been watching this bird for a few weeks so I knew where I was heading. I waited for him to sound off on the roost before I made my move. 15 min. later I had this bird standing 20 yards in front of Al. Al did a great job holding himself together to collect his first bird. The bird weighed 20 lbs. 9" beard with 1 1/4" spurs!!!
