I had a chance to rendezvous with my two best friends last April in Oklahoma City for a little bit of R&R....... turkey hunting style. 
My friend Pete lives in OKC, and hosted the trip. He is friends with a few land owners, so he took us out to some private land around Minco and Paul's Valley. We hunted over a long weekend opener Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The final tally was two nice toms on Friday (9"+ beards), two jakes on Saturday, and another big tom on Sunday to round out the bag at five birds in three days.
There were five hunters total, with two being virgins. We spent the time splitting up into various groups for different locations and blinds, but I happened to have the good fortune to have called in all the turkeys (dumb luck, I assure you)..... However, the bottom line for that weekend was that if you wanted a bird, you needed me in the blind to get it. 
Here are some pics:

Same blind as above, two hours later. Friday tom #2:
Saturday's jakes, including Vic's first ever turkey. I called in a trio, but there were only two of us in the blind:
Sunday tom, Michael's first ever turkey:
