Another fun and successful weekend in the far East finishing up R7. My wife missed a mature tom on Sat morn and filled her tags throughout the day on two jakes. On Sun we went back to where we started on Sat morn and set up in the dark near the roost. No luck though, I'm still scratching my head on how we didn't tag a couple toms right off. We were covered up with birds, at one point within 80 yds of us I could see 6 full fans plus 7 jakes strutting for hens. I did manage to call in 6 hens which dragged two big toms right up to me, which unfortunately was behind where I had my kids setup. One of the hens jumped up on a log 6 feet from me and started kee keeing looking for me. No birds but it was a great show. Later that morning we got on some more birds. My daughter couldn't seem to find the right timing to shoot a monster tom that kept lifting its head and going back into strut before she could shoot and eventually the hens spotted us and ran off with the tom leaving two jakes standing there.....one ran off. On the last stop of the day we got a couple jakes to pop and they came in hot. My son didn't want to get left out so he took the shot presented
