He lived to see...

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

Awesome! I woulda taken that today....heard one lone gobble and 2 shots about an hour apart. Dead morning for me. Although i got to watch some geese go nuts sqwauking at my decoys lol

sweet, good work Grow

[Gthphtm]

That's cool reminds me of when I had a young buck stomp and kick one of my decoys and sent it flying.

I had 2 bearded ones walk past my bedroom window about 20 yards.struting about and doing there thing looking for loving.This morning around 6:30 - 7:00 am.

sweet vid!

[growalot]

Well I went back down and they never came in....This a.m. explains why that Jakes been out there all alone wondering around strutting.......He saw that decoy...(my $5 last minute fix)...and come running in....I hit the blind this a.m. instead of where I'd gotten the pics...tired...someone called and hung up at 2a.m.... never got back to sleep and I got up a 3:45...the wind was blowing pretty stiffly...I didn't feel good about being unprotected from limbs and there where deer every where!...of course had I gone to where I'd wanted the mature toms would have been in my lap..Oh well had a blast...Good Luck

Nice video !

[landtracdeerhunter]

That  turkey kick your decoy's butt, LOL.  Awesome!

[NYbuck50]

what bad video? that was awesome.. keep at it you'll get him

 

[growalot]

keep at it you'll get him

 Lol .....not unless he messes up another hunt... Oh and he tore a hole in the side of my newly revised Jake decoy....I can't believe that tail stayed on...I should do a commercial for Gorilla glue tape...

[phade]

Sheesh...he'd be dead just on premise. Costing you money on a new deke....lol Cool vid.

[growalot]

I have to laugh...after 20 mins. of taping him circling and thumping that deke... then circling again I finally decided to try and call those other two toms in...This jake was 10-12 yrds away and I'm clucking and cackling the two toms are answering and then the jake joined in...Those two mature toms watched every thing unfold while strutting, gobbling and circling each other...saw the alert hen and the feeding hen but just finally turned and gobbled away ...I have to wonder if this guy isn't the young bully on the hill...hahaha....I named him thumper...

[phade]

Might actually be better to kill him then...maybe with the bow from the blind so the boom doesn't shy the toms.

[growalot]

Gosh when I see a Jake here at home...it's next years Tom to me...if this little snot...lol was down at camp...he'd be in the freezer and in the oven tonight.....Besides it's opening day....

[phade]

If he's somehow deterring toms from committing to decoys because he is so agressive, it could cost you the entire season at that spot.

[josephmrtn]

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