Ravin R10 man Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Although Andy missed opening day, he pulled into camp about 7;15 pm, Wed., after a 3 hour drive from Marquette MI. Thursday a.m. found us sitting watching a secluded plot, because of high winds and cold temps, I figured turkeys will stay in the woods, and at 7 am we had three hens come in feed and leave, then 7:45 ...7 birds come running in...I glass them and see 4 are jakes and 3 hens..with limited hunting time, and so few birds being seen this year, he took bead on the biggest one and dropped him at 30 yards, with a 12 ga. 3 1/2" Winchester Extreme load of 4's and was very happy to put his tag on it. Congrats Andy!! in memory of Exturkinator... Edited April 14, 2011 by Mathews XT Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsharp01 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Nice bird, nothing wrong with dropping a jake to help boost moral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Nice bird Andy. He must be lucky just to have drawn the first week. That week usually fills up fast with landowner preference points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks guys! I do feel lucky to get the first week in only my second year applying for a turkey tag. Martin did a great job of scouting the area this year and of course I wouldn't have shot this bird if he hadn't allowed me to hunt his property! :clap: As always, I'm very grateful for his generosity. Thanks again Martin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
