Hunted this morning with no luck, heard one gobble and saw one lone hen. Left went back to my sons house, went and ate breakfast, and texted catman to see if he was still stuck. He said he was so we drove back to the WMA to help him out. By the time we get there someone had already pulled him out so we decided to spot and stalk. Looked at a couple of fields and spotted some birds. Got a game plan as to how to get to the birds without being seen and started the stalk. Got to the field and got 50 Yds from the birds. Set up and had 2 birds staring into our faces. They knew something was wrong but not sure what it was. I had to do something quick. Found the first beard I had the best shot at and took it. Bang flop. 1/2" spurs 4" beard.
Say what you want, spot and stalk, no decoys.... Yes it is a Jake. No I do not care. It's a legal bird, a legal hunt, and I couldn't be happier.
