Thanks to a lot of early morning trips to camp over the past 3-4 weeks, I was able to come up with a good game plan for taking my son out today. The first gobbler sounded off ~80 yards from us, just about to the minute, when he's started in previous mornings. My son has only killed one other turkey, so he was pretty excited! I responded with some soft tree yelps. He got fired up! A red tailed hawk flew into the area and called and 4 gobblers went nuts ~80 yards away! We were pumped! Anyway, they flew down and started milling towards our decoys (hens), gobbling every now and then. The 4 jakes stopped at 35 yards and I wasn't positive if they were going to come in or follow the hen away that was with them. All of a sudden, I looked out the window of the blind to my right, and another hen was walking by 2 yards from the blind heading to the decoys (just about could have reached out and pet her, as she was so close! LOL)! Once the jakes saw this other hen going to the decoys, they walked straight in! Before we knew it, the jakes were ~10 yards from the blind, when I remembered to give my son the green light to shoot! He shot, the turkey dropped, and the next thing I knew, I was sitting in the WIDE OPEN!! I glanced over at my son and realized that the 3 1/2" mag tipped him over backwards in his stool (we were on a small incline anyway) and since the gun barrel was sticking out the window of the blind, it tipped the blind over backwards with him, so it went right over my head!! We laughed our heads off! A hunt to remember!!! Had a good year so far, as I called in a jake for my daughter during the youth season and she connected on her first!

Bwaaaa haaaa haaaa haaaa , he said Butt Heads !

No problem, rather see you enter it and keep things interesting in the contest. I tell ya one thing, if I get a jake in front of me this year, Im laying him out. I have yet to pop my turkey cherry.

Now that I live by my self and hate any food in a plastic container,Google is your friend. When I was young and just starting school My Mom who worked would drop me off at one of my two grandmothers one had 7 children and the other had 8 so there was plenty of food to be preped.by both.I learned at an early age how to peel potatoes and every thing else,the worst was grating horse radish around Easter.The next was de feathering chickens and ducks which my one grandmother had me do, because she sold them for meat.( HA HA as I am typing Right outside the window is a young tom,little 3 " beard ) So I learned at an early age how to prep. food and it payed off.

show us the soup pot... that would count LOL

I think growie will kill him if he keeps this up all season... LOL

Another day...video not good... I had the gun and trying to get him while keeping an eye on the long beards that were 70 yrds out strutting and gobbling but no coming in...apparently they didn't like watching him kick the decoys butt...lol...I just heard them again will go back out and sit the last two hours......PS...the clicking you hear is the Jake.....he guarded that "kill" and the two hens for over 45 mins...lol

Congrats! Doesn't sound like there was a whole lot of success today, so feel fortunate that you scored!

I would enter him, add a nice gobbler to that and you might be suprised, and congrats, nice bird

Guess I have one to use!

Really? When I got them in 2007 that was the price. Not sure where you buy your stuff but that was the going rate, then. Oh yea. 7 down-3 to go........... Pics to follow.

Thanks for clarifying lol. My eyes about bugged out ta my head when you said 215,000 for 14 acres lol.

May your day break clear ,the gobbles get cut short, and the feathers fly high....Good luck all

I have had a few questions about the contest cards, so Ill just put some info here. Cards do NOT hve to be printed in color, black and white is fine. Cards can be folded up, etc, just make sure they are filled out and clearly visible in the entry photos. Contest starts tomorrow! Good luck to all!

He's taking a liking to the does already I see!!! lol
