I haven't saw much at all in back of the house so we slept in and went out at 7:30 (300 yds in back of the house). On the walk out we heard one gobble 500 yds out. We were going to sit in the elevated box deer stand as there is a heater, dry, and I didn't expect to see anything. Sliding windows were froze so held the Mr Buddy up to thaw out one. Gave three series of yelps 10 min. apart. I knew we wouldn't last long so I wanted to try to get one going if it was interested. After 30 min. he wanted to go home so we packed up, got ready, unloaded the gun, getting ready to get down when a hen came out. We watched and then a tom followed. 50 yds. They started our way(had a decoy past us) but stopped 30 yds out. Problem was that those windows were completely froze shut. We tried to wait them out for 10 min but I could tell they weren't going to go past us and by the open window. I finally got the froze window free and he shot him at 30 yds. Done and home by 8:30. 1"spurs, 20 gauge.
