Chrud Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I'm sure most of you have heard me talk about my turkey hunt with Realtree Pro-Staff Member Steve Foate this weekend. Things all came together and we scored on a World Record Jake on video! It's no big tom, but it was a blast! The weather was terrible. It snowed on Friday night (didn't stick to the ground) and was 30 MPH winds. Wind chills were a balmy 10 degrees this morning. The turkeys wouldn't show themselves much at all and wouldn't gobble. After a setup that wasn't producing this morning, we headed over to my cousin's sap shack at about 6:15 AM. After a short sit, about 15 minutes, three jakes came in. The third one was the biggest and I dusted him at 15 yards. All on video too, the shot scene is great! Steve's brother got some awesome photos too that I will share with you guys later on. I'll take some pictures for the entry thread later on. Not the biggest, but I'm still on happy hunter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Nope, brother's Mossberg 835 in Hardwoods Green HD with Federal Premium 3" #5 Mag Shok's. If I get a fall tag, that'll be with a bow. Might give the bow a try next spring if I get a tag.

Chrud Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Re: Chrud Scores! [ QUOTE ] Is that hunt on tape.. if so what series is it on!? [/ QUOTE ] I doubt it will ever be on TV. But, we went through the "normal" re-enacting scenes like they do for TV. Scott, Steve's brother, edits the videos and puts them on a DVD. He has about 20 minutes or so of footage from the hunt, it was a real quick one. He wanted to get some more footage by my cousin's sap shack (we killed it on his land) and out by his sign, because that helped name the hunt. But, with being 30 degrees, 30 MPH winds and windchills around 0 to 10, the camera quit working after finishing up the hunt portion. I'll see if I can get the video for you guys to see. It'll be a while though, these guys are 6 for 6 for getting turkey kills on video already this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
