pointing_dogs_rule Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Archery deer season has been very slow... all the small bucks walk by me and the big shooters just stay away. Being frustrated I decided to go for turkeys. There has ben a group of 50 birds feeding every morning in a picked cornfield. Went out Sunday morning at 5 am. 50 degrees and a light mist falling. 3 weeks ago I had set up a blind across the field from the roost area with the hope of hunting these birds someday. They flew down at 7 AM I called and they just wandered around for 2 1/2 hours, feeding in the field. Finally the came to within 100 yards and just stayed there for 20 minutes. Soon some hens began clucking very loudly so I got aggressive with the call. They slowly fed towards my blind. All of a sudden 15 came running into the DSD decoy field. Some really nice hens, however, I noticed 50 yards away a nice tom was heading in and I waited for him. Shot him at 25 yards. 24.5 lbs. 11 1/4 inch beard and 1 1/4 spurs. By far my biggest fall bird. I usually shoot the first thing that walks by in the fall as I am a meat hunter in the fall. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
