Yes, but it was well worth it!  I believe we heard only ONE gobble all morning (mine never gobbled), saw about 6 gobblers, and left the woods with 2. 

We sent team B (my Mom and my new-to-turkey-hunting buddy) to the same spot the following morning, with no success.  I even gave them the Ghostblind!  They apparently hooked up with the old gobbler that wouldn't let anyone else talk.  He had a silent buddy and all the hens with him.  My mom had him coming, but unfortunately he snuk around the open side of the GB and saw my buddy moving.   ::)
