ladyluck Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I was lucky this year to receive 2 turkey permits and even luckier to get to birds. I got another turkey (Jake) on May 20th. It was a great hunt! I invited a girlfriend to hunt with me this last season as we both had same season and zone to hunt. My husband went along to video and stay behind us to call as the birds were hanging up. We sat by a field until 5:30 that morning and did not hear or see anything. We decided to go up top to listen. Wow!! when we got to the top the woods across the field came alive with gobbles. Since I shoot right handed and Heidi shoots left handed we sat on the same tree for more coverage. We got set up and started to glass and use our range finders to get ready. My husband called again and the woods lit up with gobbles. All of a sudden a turkey comes running around from the corner of the woods (not what we were expecting). I whispered to Heidi that it had a red head and asked if she wanted it as she not gotten one yet this year. She whispers back "no go ahead, I'm not ready". Wham!!! I got him. lol Then.... I said to Heidi "did you see a beard?" lol We ran out to the field to get him. yes...he did have a beard about a 3 inch haha. My husband says hurry get him back into the woods as the other turkeys were stilling gobbling. I put my gun down and became Heidi's eyes as she can't see too far away. All 3 toms came about 200 yards across the field just a gobblin on cue. It was so cool and Heidi was just a shakin lol. Unfortunately they still hung up at about 75 yards out. Then they left. We had so much fun that morning, it was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
