2014 Spring Turkey Hunting Thread

[roverboy]

Congratulations Shaun. I'm gonna try for number 3, tomorrow or this weekend. I'd like to get all mature birds too. I could've killed 2 jakes over the weekend.

[ShaunM]

I passed on several Jakes this year. Good luck!

Awesome.  Did he come in to investigate your stick full o' feathers?

[ShaunM]

Thats my home made tom decoy. It works pretty good.

Not the best video ever but it will do lol. I was using a GoPro camera with a head strap mount. This was my 4th and final turkey. Like I said not the best video in the world. Not gonna lie I was nervous. I had so many close calls on my 4th turkey it was killing me when he was coming in. I had to climb over a stone fence and barbwire fence to get him. Between that and climbing the hill to get him I was one tired fat guy ha ha.

Sweet! Worked 2 this morning but neither would come. Next property over and wouldn't cross the creek. I'll just live vicariously through you for the moment. Congrats! Butchering syntax with Tapatalk

Passed on a small 2 year old today. Hoping to get the boss on that farm, but time is running out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went this morning and called in 6 jakes. I wish older birds was that easy. I let'em walk to see hopefully another year.

[homeagain]

Got em roosted. Hoping for #3 tomorrow.

[ShaunM]

Good luck!!!

I am walking up under him tomorrow when he gobbles. Ninja boots laid out. Time to swing for the fence.

Nice bird

[ShaunM]

When you said ninja boots my first thought was.....Is he finally wearing crocs lol.

[ShaunM]

I wear Muck as well. They are really comfortable.

[homeagain]
