Hunted yesterday at my lease in west Georgia and at daybreak the birds were hammering! I chased this old joker for 3 hours and 3 setups and with hens the whole time and he did not want to commit. I finally setup at the top of hill on our planted gasline where I thought they would eventually come out to feed. I was sitting over a blind hill and made a couple of calls with the new trumpet and heard the bird gobble and the hens answering me. I made another call a little bit later and heard a couple of different gobblers.

A couple of minutes later, I saw the fan coming over the hill and as soon as his head cleared the rise, I killed him.  Stood up and walked out and 4 other longbeards were skedaddling.  Guess I should of waited a minute or two more. Long spurs and thick beard.

Here is the bird and the gasline view.

That's exactly what I thought too. Well done.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

Well done.  That's a fine gobbler alright.  That second picture is terrific.  Could see that in a calendar.
