Weekend Woodsmen Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Last year we had a BIG tom working this field. After playing games with him all morning, an airplane buzzed the field flying low which sent the gobbler into a gobbling frenzy before running towards us, ultimately giving us the shot. We couldn't believe it! The tom ended up weighing in a 24lbs with 1.5" spurs! A real giant! Here's the video to prove it! Watch the Video!

wtnhunt Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Don't really turkey hunt much, but this was by far the most memorable. I was walking and calling with my box call and pausing and listening for any replies I got near the back of our property around a brush pile and had what I am pretty sure was a female coyote with two dogs come from a brush pile at me. My winchester 1300 jammed after I fired the first round at the yotes face through the brush, but fortunately I was able to get them run away. I had killed several male yotes back over that winter and into the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born4it Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Oh, man...too many to go through. One day I called in 12 different Toms/Jakes, but none would get close enough...just madness that morning. Then I went out the next morning, called one in to 20 yards, shot it, and went home. The previous morning was more fun than the day I killed one! Just last year I had two crazy ones...with a buddy and surrounded by four gobbling their heads off, each at 50-60 yards on four sides of us for probably 30 minutes...couldn't get it done on any of them. We named one of them Laryngitis because he sounded like a 50 year smoker. After they moved off, walked up the ridge to another gobbling bird that also hung up, so I held up a turkey fan my buddy had, crawled about 20 yards through some weeds, and killed that one. Later that year, I was hunting with my dad at separate parts of the farm. Heard a shot from over by Dad, and only one, so knew Dad killed. Worked my way toward him from behind and right of him only to see a strutter in the field right in front of his blind. As I'm game planning getting close enough to this bird to shoot him myself, BOOM! Turns out the shot was a neighbor, and got to see Pop blast a giant. Caught me off guard, and it really caught him off guard when I started running at it after he shot! Good question! Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
