USAFbowhunter Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well my season started on the 19th and my father came down from Illinois and we headed down to Avon Park Florida for our 3rd year to try and get our Osceola's. Well monday morning at 10am we both got our birds. We had set up in one area and the birds there didn't want to get shot. we heard them fly down but they went the wrong way so we decided to move to another area. We go and sign out of the area we were in and sign into the new area and we just walked around and did some calling and we walked back into a cypress swamp and had a hen respond and come in but it was to thick to hunt so we walked out still calling as we walked out and found a nice little clearing so we set up our decoys and I set my dad at the base of the tree facing the decoys and i sat at the same tree facing the other way. I broke out my slate and started doing a little calling and we hadn't been there more than 5 mins and we had 2 jakes coming in infront of my dad. they came right into the decoys and my dad shot the lead one and as he shot I grabbed my gun and stood up which i guess scared the other jake and he stopped and looked which was his mistake and I dropped him in his tracks. so within a matter of seconds me and my dad had both got our Osceolas. Now I can work on getting him his last 2 for his slam. Now I am back home and trying to help my wife get her first turkey. She started going with me last year and decided that this year she wanted to be be behind the gun. I will keep you posted on our progress.
