Well, my 10 year old son connected this morning, we've been hunting these birds for about a week now and they've been henned up every day. We knew where they were roosting and set up a blind there yesterday and made a path by clearing the leaves for a silent entrance. We got there well before light and waited.
We had 2 hens in the trees about 30 yards in front of us, and a gobbler started mouthing off about 75 yards down the hill. The hens flew down in perfect position and the gobbler strutted his way up to meet them. When the gobbler was 35 yards away, he let fly with the #9 TSS that he handloaded himself. He even wrote messages on the overshot card... "See you later sucka," "I'm not a hen", "Bang," etc. LOL!
We never even had to get a call out of the vest.
He's excited to get his first longbeard (he got a late hatch 2 year old last year). He's even more excited to have bagged him with handloads that he put together himself!
Stats: 20 lbs, 8 3/4" beard. Gun was an 870 youth 20 gauge with a 552 Eotech.
