pointing_dogs_rule Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Well I did it once more. This spring I got my second spring turkey in the last 1/2 hour of the season Today was the last day of fall turkey here in Iowa. In the fall I tend to be a "meat hunter". I knew where 30 turkeys were, however, everytime I tried to sneak into the area they would see me and out-smart me. Today I get there at 3:30 and it is 20 degrees and wind from the south at 20 MPH. As I start walking in I see the group in the cornfield to the north (they are usually to the south) at 100 yards. I quick duck down and procede to cut them off without them seeing me. After calling and about 20 minutes and thinking they had scrammed I get up from behind the fence row and see two feeding towards me at 60 yards (the other 28+ following behind). I get set and when they walk by at 30 yards I shoot. One drops and the rest fly and two nice toms land 10 yards away. I only have on license!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They then see me and fly. With 1/2 hour left in the season. As luck would have it I bet I shot the smallest in the group. The lead hen had picked me out as I sat behind the fence row and was being a little nervous so I wasn't going to wait. Secondly, They were so grouped up, if I shot at the other I would have downed 3 - 5 with one shot so I picked the lone one. Good eatin!!! CAN YOU TELL IT WAS COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Congrats on the hen! I still have yet to shoot a turkey, hopefully I'll be able to fill my Wyoming and SD tags this spring with two fine Merriams. Way to go and congrats again!
