beagleboy Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I shot this jake this morning. He wasn't the bird I thought he was. I had a gobbler strut on a stone wall back and forth for over 1/2 hour after he flew down and wouldn't come any closer. I would look over the knoll and see if he was still there every once in a while and after a while he dissappeared. He was the only bird I saw and heard. After I didn't see him I looked over the knoll to see if he was still there and all I saw was his red head. Never saw the body. Thinking he was the bird that was strutting, aimed and fired and realized instantly it wasn't him. I was a little dissapointed shooting a jake but after 5 days of the turkeys kicking my butt, I was still proud to take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
