The first Gobble
As I wake up, I'm annoyed by the alarm I hear. Then I look at my phone to see why I'm waking up at 4:30 and instantly I'm up and awake. It's finally turkey season! I grab everything I see out the night before, the decoys, calls, food, water, and of course the shotgun. At about 4:35 I'm out of the house and walking through the field. All that can be seen by me, is an ocean of hay and I hope I'm walking to the right place, because I cannot even make out the treeline. Soon enough as I'm walking I see a rabbit in front of me and I wonder if this could mean luck, or else bad luck. The rabbit could be a sign that I don't take very seriously and am mostly shocked to see it so close to me without running away.

My turkey blind finally comes into my sight and I get settled down. As the rising sun comes up i see a thick cloud a fog rolling across the hay field that blinds my vision to about 60 yards and I have no idea where that tom is perched at so I start by doing a few cutt calls, a cutt is a sharp cherp made from the friction of a small wooden box and a wooden stick sliding across it. I do this noise about 5 times then stop. This doesn't seem to work so I get out of the turkey bling and plant a few decoys in front of my field of vision, these decoys will encourage a tom that sees these to come and breed with the hens, not knowing i will be watching him. After hours of calling and not getting responses I start to try
