I debated to set up where I was or go to the pre scouted blind. I chose to keep going and hurried to my blind, placed a Jake and a hen out about 15 yards away from me then sat still.
Every 2-3 minutes I heard gobbling from at least 2 birds, they kept it up non-stop. I called every once in a while with my box call, then tried my gobble call. They went crazy at every noise I made.
The gobbling kept getting closer and closer but still no birds sight. Finally, I heard a gobble that almost made me soil myself
then 2 toms appeared in full strut, they were about 30 yards away but I didn't have a shot yet. They kept on walking towards the decoys. I was trying to decide which bird to shoot, both had about the same length beard so I chose the first one to present a nice shot. The turkey was about 20 yards away and BOOM!! After a little flapping, he was down. I could have shot the other one too as he hung around a little while before taking off.The beard was 250mm and the spurs were 22 and 23mm each. Weight not really sure, but was really heavy carrying it out
Here are some pics:
