    Well, this evening my fiance and I went to roost some gobblers and get our blind set up for the morning hunt. We got out and into the field where I suspected the birds but didn't see/hear anything. I know the area has 4 different longbeards visiting it daily so we decided to set-up the blind where they have been entering/exiting the field (roughly 80 yards from their roosting area). We set the blind up and sat inside it hoping to hear the birds sound off but nothing.... it was getting pretty late and I decided we should head out and check my game cam. As soon as I open the blind door I see him... a big longbeard standing only 60 yards behind the blind. I freeze and he knows something is wrong but isn't sure what... he dips into a low spot in the field and I get back in the blind only to see a few more gobblers and some hens. They passed by the blind and headed to roost right where I figured... so with any luck in the morning, I am going to set my fiance (Tiffany) and my best-friend (Matt) up on their first turkeys ever. I am not even taking my bow, just carrying the camcorder.

    Here is a view out of the blind..

    And here is the big gobbler that was behind the blind... not a thick beard but it's long
