Never heard the first turkey all morning, hen or tom.. Walked all the way down to the river bottoms and back up through the woods and not a peep. Got set up in a hedgerow between two fields about 715 calling a little every 10-15 min or so, had a hen decoy about 5yds outside edge and i was about 5yds in.. Well the 3rd time I called about 3-4 min later I look up and see a tom running in full strut until he got up next to the decoy, he brought a hen with him as well and she was hanging out about 15yds behind him.. he spit and drummed for a little bit while I got my gun up and enjoyed the show and then I let the ol trusty mossberg 20ga eat, never made another move after that... 24lbs, 10.5 beard, 1.25 spurs

Great bird, congrats and thanks for sharing. Several hunters I have talked to are mentioning "quite mornings" here lately, all in areas they know gobblers exist. I was shut out yesterday morning in an area I know had 3 LBs just two mornings ago. It was a hard pill to swallow for such a fine weather day.
