WaCoyote Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Finally got one. It's been a frustrating season. Very slow and quiet at first. Then intense for just a short time, now they are winding down. Not hearing to much turkey talk. Wild_Bill and I were on adjacent ridges talking to a gobbler for an hour or so. He was pretty hot and answered Bill but not me. The bird was pretty hot but decided to move on. He was probably henned up. Anyways It was getting quiet and all of the sudden three hens showed up about 70 yards in front of me. Then this jake showed up and came right to the decoy. I touched off and bagged him. He's sure is a pretty thing. Never have shot a Jake before. But I'm sure it won't be the last. I still have one more tag and two weeks to go. The next legal bird I see will be taking a 350 degree peanut oil bath. This turkey hunting is extremely frustrating and humbling!! We LOVE deep fried turkey!!
