Meet My Friend Jake, Turkey Down

[wishfish]

Rough start to the season, spooking birds, having no shows, etc. Well, I had two Toms ignore my calls, one to the left, one to the right. Then, quietly a hen followed by a Jake approached from behind me. I let the hen pass, but the Jake wasn’t given the same courtesy.

Jake down, dinner planned.

Nice. Was he shot in the woods or did he come out.

Nice bird. Good for you.
I went out yesterday afternoon in the Bush ( left the Therma cell at home )and the mosquitos picked me up and threw me out to the field. Yikes

Nice bird, I had a rough start this year birds all went MIA or at least across highway where I couldn't go. Luckily they came to my side. Crawled up on them in fog last week and shot the head clean off a jake at about 5 yards, then after having a nice time turn off just before giving me a shot this morning I claimed my second bird tonight(which my wife finds upsetting now that I'm tagged out).Took second bird with 20 gauge just for something different. Now onto building a duck blind and dog training, September will be here soon.

There were birds on the opposite side of the field. He came from behind me out of the bush moving towards the field. I dropped him before he got there.a
