boomer Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I got a last minute invite to go hunt with some guys from the nwtf at the Niobrara River Ranch for the weekend. I got to take a buddy along with me. When we got to the road to the ranch there was 6 elk standing on the road. I think I spent more time looking for elk sheds than looking for turkeys but didn't find any. On Sat morning we went the unit we would be hunting and had turkeys gobbling everywhere. I called in a tom shortly after 8am and my buddy got him with a 20ga at 25yrds. He was 20lbs 8 1/16 beard and 7/16 spurs. http://www.hunt101.com/img/489086-big.jpg Than I found a tom that I wanted. No matter how I sat up on him he would always go the other way. I hunted him Sat night, all day on Sun and Mon morning. On Sun afternoon I sat up 100yrds from his roost tree. About 45mins until sunset he showed up at 15yrds while I was daydreaming. And was never able to get the shot off due to being busted. So I came home without a bird but had a blast. In the 2 1/2 days of hunting I called in 31 jakes and 3 toms. On monday on the way back to camp I came up on these 2 boys sitting in the shade. www.hunt101.com/img/489089-big.jpg www.hunt101.com/img/489088-big.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
