A Limit for Millie

I had a hunter with a lot more experience than I had, buy a call last year. Opening weekend his wife killed 2 of the three turkeys that he called in. He had already ordered a second call for his wife for an anniversary present. I finished it a couple of weekends ago and he used it to call in her 3rd turkey of the season. This is the copy of the email that I got from him.

One more PM and I'll leave you alone.....Millie finished her season with a 2 year old yesterday morning....I used her Cutting call to call him up.....there are 2 pipelines that cross each other on the east side of our lease with a log road about 150 yds long that connect the pipelines before they cross...we had to walk 1/2 mile down a pipeline to get close(within 100 yds) to him where he was roosted on the edge of the 2nd pipeline directly across from where the road comes into it....it was close to flydown when we got set up....Mllie got set up so that the gobbler would be in range when he walked around a curve in the road...I was about 10 yds behind and to the left so I couldn't see the road....I gave him a couple clucks and a series of yelps which he liked and responded to with a double gobble......about three minutes later I cackled at him ....he and another turkey about 300 yds south of us gobbled back.....about 5 minutes later I saw Millie adjust her gun then she shot him at 25 yards....he weighed 17 lbs.....8 3/4" beard and 3/4" spurs.....we have had a good time using your calls this season....they have a very realistic sound but also a "new" sound which I think has helped us call up these turkeys this year....thanks again, Chip
