First, congratulations Vic on getting the son away from the electronics. But I and sure with you as the guide it will happen shortly for your son.
GN, I feel the same as you it just wouldn't seem right seeing longbeards on a regular bases, I to could not bring myself to just set up and shot one. But if one was to break them up and try calling one back in over the next 1 hour to 1 day that would be an accomplishment. First not making any bad gobbler calls and then not being spotted no matter how good a natural blind one made. I believe they are more alert in the fall coming to a call then in the spring, of course maybe thats because I get my fellings hurt more in the fall then spring. Of course no decoys allowed when with me. But to each thier own.
But fall hunting gobblers today must have a different effect on one as my grandfather and his friends were all lean and had a thick head of hair, as I have gotten fatter and now bald.
