4 birds hammering on the roost.  I was a tad late due to a wreck, I hope they are ok!

Birds started at 605 and hammer for 30 minutes.  They went silent when they hit the ground, but every 15 minutes or so I would hear a gobble.  I gave some light calling and fired a hen up, so I went to cutting.  For some reason the hens got way ahead of the gobblers.  It took them 1 hour 45 minutes to cover the ground, but worth the wait.  I got a jake within 10 yards and I was froze, the big boys followed, but couldn't resist Tom Teaser diaphram call.  I was able to take a shot at the second biggest at 35 yards and thank the lord it was a good shot.  Benelli Nova with a hevishot choke and hevishot #6 at 35 yatds are pure death.

Looking forward to the pictures.  Way to go.  We're just a couple weeks from the end of gun season here in Cali.
