jbeck Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I took the boss's son hunting this morning in the Youth season. A bird opened up at 6:10, didn't respond to the calls that hot. I assumed he was henned, he answered but really hesitated as if to say here I am come to me. I changed tactics and focused on bringing the hen to me. at 6:50 We saw him coming in at 65 yards, he strutted and showed us what he was about. I saw the hen a 60 yards, and she continued out the mountain. I convinced the gobbler to get a little closer, his mistake. He came into 35 yards, and when he went to leave to follow the hen, a little cutting got him to hold still with his head up. As you see from the pics, it was a nice bird. 2 beards, 10 1/4 and 5 1/4. He weighed 21 lbs and had 7/8 inch spurs. Not bad for a boys first bird huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
