G season

[mws4dux]

I got the invite to tag along with the neighbor as he was going to try turkey huntin for the first time.We hunted all 7 days of his season,every morn. and a couple afternoon hunts.Some days were pretty quiet other days they would gobble nonstop.We tried different locations,decoys and calls.We had lots of hens in and out of the dekes.On the 6th morn we had 2 jakes a longbeard and 4 hens in the field,the LB was slowly working his way towards the dekes,he got to about 75 yds when the jakes came running across the field and chased him right out,they stood in the corner of the field for a few min then left also.We left the strutter deke in the truck that morn.By how aggressive the jakes were we wished we would have brought it.Day 7 same field only one gobbling on the roost,its the LB and he's out in our field at 5:20.He's stutting and gobbling his way in. He gets to about 40 yds. when he starts to loose interest, I ask him if he's comfortable with the shot? Yep!!!! BOOM! MISS--We both watch the turkey run away.We hunted them hard they were tough but even after all that he said he cant wait till next year. So thats great. I was lucky enough to hunt 17 days this spring. Saw a total of 5 turkeys harvested,including 2 first turkeys and a first bow kill was a great spring.Good luck to everyone huntin Season H.Now I have to find my fishing poles. Have great summer!!!

mws4dux, I applaud you and your partner on your persistance. There's nothing I love more than getting out in the woods or on the water but I think I'd have needed a day or so off to recharge my batteries.
