Title: Tax Day Turkey Hunt
Post by: TRKYHTR on April 15, 2013, 06:08:03 PM
Me and a friend of mine, John Zeiter, went turkey hunting today. We were hunting on his cousins property not to far from my house. We got set up and the turkeys were gobbling. The turkeys flew down early and it was hard to hear because they were below us over a ridge. I finally got a hen to answer a few times so I cutt her off and got aggressive. Next hen yelp I hear she was on the ridge. Then I spot her out front. I had put my Momma decoy out. When the hen saw the decoy she wanted to fight. Then a couple more hens got in the fight. Next thing I see is 2 Jakes come running to the party. Now there is 13 hens and 2 Jakes within 15 yards of us. Then one of the Jakes jumped on the decoy and road it to the ground. then started molesting it. I could hear a gobbler spitting and drumming just out of sight. About that time the gobbler came over the ridge and saw the Jake on top of the decoy and ran in to teach that Jake a lesson. They finally parted a little bit so John could shoot and he took out the gobbler. It was a great hunt on a great day in Gods Country. And it was all caught on video.

Great story, even better video, but the best part is just after your friend rolls the bird, the jake immediately goes back to molesting your decoy..."Oh well, you lose and I GET THE GIRL THIS TIME, SUCKER!!!
