Re: Thunder Kickers (#10)

Our season opens next Monday... I plan on taking a couple hours off opening morning and will probably hunt an hour or so every morning before work but most of my hunting will be on weekends. I've only seen one jake and a bunch of hens behind the house but my neighbor seen a two big gobblers a couple days ago so at least I know they are out there. cool.gif

Our season ends Sat. I'll be out there before first light. I'm hoping to bag just one more mature bird...

Good Luck...

Basically this was the easiest turkey hunt I've ever had... I set up on a ridge knowing that the week before there were several gobblers hanging out there. Yesterday there was only this one and more importantly no hens around like the week before.

I let him gobble a few times before I called... I let out a few tree yelps and he flys down within 80 yards of me coming in my direction. He gobbled a couple more times so I let out a few more soft yelps and he came in on a string... 20 yard shot.

25 pounds

Re: Thunder Kickers (#10)

Wow!! What a hunt I had. I got my turkey Wednesday may 8th. I will have to mail my pictures to Borch or another member of our team.

My morning started out with a rough night. I was staying at my in-laws cabin (they stay up there most of the summer). The phone rang at 1:45 and rang 3 more times before 2:00. My father in law was called into work. I got up at 4:00 to get ready. I had another person meeting me up there to videotape my hunt. When I walked out of the cabin to talk with him at 4:30 I noticed all kind of damage to the bird feeders??? Once we got into the blind we were discussing the possibility of it being done by a bear. We have not had any sitings of bears before. I love hearing the woods wake up. As it was getting light out we seen a bobcat and got that on video. By 7:00 I got my turkey!!!!

22.5 lbs

11" beard

1 1/4" spurs

With a score of 69.5 for the ThunderKickers grin.gifgrin.gif
