KYLimbHanger Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I have been hunting for a few years with a good college friend. But, I haven't been able to tag a turkey with him until this year, 3 days into the 2006 season. We were able to get to this bird on the roost. He flew down but seemed to be going away from us, (with hens we thought). He wouldn't respond much to hen calls so we shocked him to find out where he was heading to. My friend knew the lay of the land and we setup an ambush with some light yelping. Sure enough, we saw him at the edge of a field coming our way. So, we just waited 'till he got within range. He strutted a few times then I decided it was time to take the shot. But, I missed and had to shoot as he started to run away. My friend was highly impressed with the speed of my followup shot and the instantaneous pumping of my shotgun. Another notch on the stock of my 870. Excited would be an understatement. We were on cloud nine and I had tagged out within 3 days of the 2006 season. 24 lbs. 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/8 inch spurs 10 3/4 inch beard Here is my wingman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYLimbHanger Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Re: 2nd KY gobbler: tagged out thanks fellas. If I had to choose only one type of hunting, it would most definetly be turkey hunting. For those who don't turkey hunt.....I say, Thanks with a deep appreciation for leaving a few more turkeys in the spring woods for people to hunt.

Rhino Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Re: 2nd KY gobbler: tagged out Congrats on another nice bird. Just because you're tagged out now doesn't mean you can't get back out there. Tag along as the guide now for a young hunter or a second caller for a friend.

[/ QUOTE ] Well, that is what I did the rest of the day after I shot him in the morning. I took today off turkey hunting and work just to chill out for a bit. 3 straight days of chasing gobblers wore me out. I will be heading back this weekend to call for my friend and hopefully help him bag a nice gobbler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentgate Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Re: 2nd KY gobbler: tagged out Congrats LimbHanger! I'm also a KY hunter who tagged out! Saturday morning shot a 20 lb. tom with 10" beard and 1" spurs at 10 yds. Sunday morning shot a 21 lb. tom with 9" beard and 1" spurs at 45 yds! Great feeling, isn't it?!
