This morning I decided to go back to where I seen the tom and give him another try.This spot is also the place I went on my very first Turkey hunt and I got caught with the gun sitting across my lap.
As daylight arrives there is absolutely no gobbling and no sound of nothing.I was a little puzzled as I saw the birds there yesturday evening.I also decided to go back to old faithfull,the triple threat call and I gave a few soft yelps and all of a sudden almost directly above me,yes that close a whole bunch of hens started and clucking and yelping and kinda freaked me out.Still no gobbling!
I just couldnt beleive how loud they can get in the roost and when they flew down it was amazing how much noise they make.I didnt bring the decoys this morning,I left them in the truck.The wise old gobbler wasnt there or I didnt see him as there were 6 or 7 hens along with a lone jake!
At 15 yards or less this guy didnt have a chance with the pattern I got in my gun.Hevi-shot 13s 3 inch 2oz #6 with a pure gold .670 choke in my 870 and it was over at 7am!
I guess next Wednesday I will be out after that Tom that was so close to loosing his life yesturday!
Just a 12.5 lb jake that will find his way to my turkey fryer this afternoon!
