Team 'Longbeard' - #5

Well guy's sorry to disapoint, but there's no turkey for me this year. Though this year's hunt was a memorable one. I'm down one less decoy after the boss hen came into my decoy's and proceeded to tear apart one of my hen decoy's. It was pretty amusing to watch her beat up on that decoy for 45 min. Finally I couldn't take it any longer. In order not to have her alarm putt to warn any other turkey's in the area I waited for her to push my decoy into a dry creek bed I then snuk up on her and rushed her so she'd fly off instead running off alerting any other potential targets. I then had one other stubborn tom within 45 yards on a hill top above me that wouldn't come down into the decoys. It would have been a really nice first bird for my nephew, who was on his first hunt. I think we have a new life long turkey hunter added to our ranks. My nephew really enjoyed his hunt even though we didn't bag a bird. All in all it was a fun time turkey hunting this year even without harvesting a bird. I can't wait till next year already. Well hope any others hunting this last weekend have good luck.
