Opening Day Jake

[518BowSlayer]

5:50am, 3in beard, 14lbs, spurs are just nubs. not exactly a trophy but a really fun morning, plus I've come up empty the past 2 seasons so I didn't hesitate to take this opportunity. came in real slow to my full strut deke with another jake. didn't give him the chance to get spooked by it so I dropped him at 25 yards. Winchester long beard xr through a Mossberg 500 got it done.

Congrats !   Did he gobble ? I had 9 turkeys ( 5 of which were toms) around me and never heard a gobble..

 

One of my buddies had 5 adult gobblers around him and killed a nice longbeard, but never heard a gobble..

Congrats !! You were home before I took my first coffee leak in the leeks. Them XR's smash him ?

One year a buddy and I killed three nice long beards, screwed up on a couple more and passed on several Jakes. We didn't hear a single gobble that whole season….. I still wonder what the hell was going on that year.
