Fall turkey down...

[WNY Bowhunter]

It's been a bit warm and windy to deer hunt so I've been chasing turkeys for the past couple of days. I had a fun hunt with my wife last night. We were actually after some gobblers that I've been watching when a flock of hens/poults showed up. I got the old boss hen fired up and she came on in while the others stayed just up over the knoll in the cornfield. At first we were gonna pass hoping the rest would come in, but they started working further away...so, the old adage of bird in hand played out. Erin made a great left handed shot to end the hunt. 

 

 

I went after some more birds this morning and had a bunch roosted across the gulley from me and even had one gobble twice.  I ended up getting around them and called two hens in...one of which strutted and drummed like a gobbler for 45 minutes at 20 yds!!! It was a cool hunt even though I elected to pass on her.
