WHALE Report post Posted April 18, 2014 Emmy was able to tag her first tom this morning at 6:30. The birds were right where I had seen them yesterday. We got within 150 yards of him early. We set up and called to him very subtle on the slate for 45 minutes. He actually passed by us at 70 yards or so and sounded like he was leaving. I told Emmy we need to get up higher on the ridge. I decided to call loud and aggressive with the diaphragm. He let out two loud gobbles and I told Emmy to get ready he is coming. 5 minutes later we see him full strut with wings dragging the ground. When he reached a clearing I told her shoot. She made a perfect 21 yard shot. I am a proud papa. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
