Best 20 minute Season for me. My cousin hit a owl hoot and got one to fire off on the limb. We made the decision to back up 40 yards in a hedge row. While he made set with the decoys and I made a spot for us to set up. Not 3 minutes after we sat down we heard multiple birds fly down. A hen and gobbler came toward us and passed the decoys. I was willing to take that gobbler. But glad he dodnt give me a chance. Because then this raptor steps out with 4 hens around him. He seen the decoys and had to check them out. He got to 20 yards and I couldn’t hold it anymore then let him have it.
