First Time Calling a Tom

[Bowhunter57]

I've always had turkeys respond to my decoys, but never called one into my decoys. Today, there were 2 toms that were responding to my calls and the decoys did the rest. As they were leaving the woods, they waded to cross the creek, then their focus was on my 2 hen decoys and the girls did the rest.
I shot him at 7:10 and from about 20 feet from my Rhino ground blind.

I 1/4" spurs and a 10 1/2" beard.

I appreciate the "congrats" guys!
Now, it's time for me to get busy killing some predators, so there are some birds left for next year. Not to mention, the fawns will be on the ground soon.
