whitetailfreak55 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 With the end of the Iowa season quickly approaching I knew I was going to have to do something to fill my tag. I set out yesterday afternoon hunting public land where I had seen 2 nice gobblers. I knew where they were at so after a mile hike back in there I could finally see them. I got set up and started calling for 45 minutes before I decided to get more aggressive. I planned a stalk to get within 40 yards of them. I got to where I wanted to go before realizing they were all in front of me but the brush was so thick I couldn't get a shot. Finally a hen brought the flock to a tiny window which I could shoot through. The hen kept coming around when the biggest longbears (or So I thought) came into my window. The hen seen me and started putting when my sights found his head. I rolled him at thirty five yards. I got up to him and then realized it was the Jake of the group not the Tom but oh Well I'm very excited to get him and proud of him. And I got it all on film! 16 pounds 3/8 spurs and a 6 inch beard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
