This is my buddy and his son who both have never harvested a turkey but have been hunting them for the last couple years. I went along and assisted them and came out with a Jake today. They were so impressed with this Jake and 2 others just gobbling away and strutting like crazy. They've never seen a show like that and now are hooked more than ever. I was happy to see that and to be there to help out too.
Turkey guideing.. You realize now that little feller is going to think you are the turkey hunting king.. You will have to stay on top of your game for sure..
Well HM living on a small Indian reserve here we're left by the Feds with pretty much no gaming laws so I've been messing with these birds since Feb. Although I haven't taken anything I just love being out there and getting them going. It is the best learning experience for me and it certainly helped with my friends on the state land.
Well today I went with my friend whose son shot one on youth weekend (first pic) and he got himself a dandy. It fell right in a darn puddle too and got all muddy but we tried to tidy it up a little.
started a new season and went out on a youth hunt here and were able to get my friends son a bird and came out successful. It was windy and cold this a.m. so we took ole pretty boy decoy out and set him up with a hen decoy in a field below a high ridge across the creek overlooking the fields and this guy flew down and rushed the decoy and it was all over. Very fast hunt.
A few years back I was able to assist in helping my brother get his first turkey. The little jake had a two inch beard that barely sruck out of the breast feathers. We watched that bird for 10-15 minutes before seeing the beard. To him that was just as much a trophy as the biggest Tom in the woods.
Whew!!! I've been out on more than a few hunts this season and finally decided that it was finally my turn to shoot and ended up with a beauty. This one had 2 beards, the smaller beard was puny.
