Birds were hammering my call then

[DaveHawk]

Had a great morning in a rain storm, 5 Toms gobbling and then a chain saw started up and a back hoe started up in the area the toms were in. So I moved across the farm about a mile and set my decoys called once to a tom I heard gobble off in the distance. And 5 minutes later he came into the decoys quite. This afternoon we had a family get together and the turkey was cooked on the grill by my son Jon. He can cook. The bird was gone quick. Marinated for 3 hours in Italian creamy dressing and basted with the vinaigrette Italian and was just as juicy and tender very very tasty.
All agreed much taster then store bought dry bland birds.

Congratulations Dave. By "my call" do you really mean a call that you made for yourself? That would up the personal satisfaction level one more notch doing it that way.
