Cybertech_hound819 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Well its been a heck of a year for me here in NH and Maine. Started off not beeing able to hunt the opener here in Nh because of having to work on the race car.So i went out monday moring with out roosting a bird. just set up blind in the dark. and just at daylight a jake gobbeled right infront of me about 50 yards. then about 2 min later a tom gobbeled in the same spot. and as it usaly goes they fly down and work there way down the hill to me and in to about 7 yards. i take the shot and there he lay. 18 pounds 9 inch beard and 7/8 hooks. then off to maine to hunt with some good friends that work with Northwoods adventure tv. Friday morning we tryed to double up with a bow(chandra) and a gun(me) but nothing would come in the set up was a lilttle off but the birds where there. she had to go to work so we went to get some food then came back and made 2 set ups on some birds. that were hung up and wont come. then it happened. a bird gobbled and it sounded like a gun shot. and it was close. after a few clucks and purs i see him up on top of the logging road strutting. and for whatever reason he turns and starts working his way down to us. once he gets close enough i let him work the decoys for a few then let loose on him. anouther great bird. 20 pounds and 9 1/2 and 5 1/2 inch beard and 7/8 hooks. and all on video. so far this year i think i have hunted a total of 4 hours and have 2 bird on the ground. Now off to VT to see if i cant get one with a bow.. Here is the link to my maine turkey hunt. its just a reay fast edit so there are a few things that need to be changed and added in but all in all it came out good. let me knwo what u think of it.
