Turkey was taken at approx 7:30am, When getting set up in blind we could hear this tom gobbling to the north of us, this tom was accompanied with another smaller tom, both came walking up behind the blind gobbling responding to Easton’s fathers call. The tom came up beside the blind about 10 yards but wouldn’t come within sight of Easton. Over approx 10 mins the tom worked his way back behind the blind and up the other side and around front of the blind strutting the entire way. As soon as the tom walked passed the decoy and Easton could get a clear shot he smoked him with his crossbow! This was Easton’s first kill and he says “he’s now addicted to hunting!”
