Mine! Being that I'm over 60 and work in a factory I was advised to take some time off since I'm considered high risk. I obliged them.
Got on a ridge top to listen this morning and highway noise on one side and running water on the other made hearing difficult but was hearing one on adjoining property that I don't have permission to be on. Got as close as I could and called with the old aluminator. I thought he answered but he was far nuff away that it may have just been his regular gobble. Anyway he hit the ground as I barely could hear his last gobble. Made a comfy spot to sit cause I thought I'd stay put awhile just in case. Thought I'd make one more call before I sat and as I was getting my call out he gobbled 100 yards or less over the little rise in front of me.. I dug quicker to get that call and stick out of my vest and he gobbled again. I got tickled and told myself forget that call you better be getting ready to shoot! 4 or 5 more gobbles and there he was and the rest as they say is history. My 2nd heaviest ever at 23lbs 4 oz. Nice day to be taking advantage of the stay at home order.
