Re: 2016 Turkey kill thread
Bird#1.......I set up on a gobbling bird and he went away with some hens so I moved along and did some walking and calling. I eventually found a nice looking hardwood ridge and just sat down and did some blind calling near some fresh sign. It didn't take but a couple sets of yelps and I had a bird answering and headed my way. He was a nice bird!
Bird #1
19# 10 ounces
1 1/8" Spurs
9 1/2" beard

Bird#2.........I was able to catch a 2 year old in a bottom full of mature thinned pines without any hens and had a nice hunt with him gobbling a ton all the way to the gun, just in time to get ready and go to a meeting.

Bird#3........This hunt from beginning to end lasted maybe 20 minutes which includes my walk in and out, but he was the biggest of my three for the first week. I was walking in for an afternoon hunt and caught him alone in a good spot to kill him. He come hard and fast and I barely got my gloves and mask on before he tried to ravage me. I sure like it when they try though.

20lbs 9.5" bears with 1.5" Spurs. Couldn't get a tom to gobble the last two days. Pulled a sneak attack on this bird once I spotted him in a field with one other jake and 6 hens.
