Title: Another fine one! Youth day in PA
Post by: Yelpy on April 20, 2013, 02:52:34 PM

He is one happy camper! Had some help from the nephew with the calling. I am trying to get him in the game more so he can start calling them up on his own now. Needless to say he learned today that they like one call better than the other. Started them off on the roost, got him fired up with the Wildtalker Snakewood/Holly Albert Paul box, got a few hens upset. He flew down behind us came straight in like he was on a rope. Had him at about 15yrds hammering. What an awsome way to start the day. He couldn't take the DSD jake wanting to give the DSD hen some lovin in the field. When he went over to woop the jake I made him gobble to get his head out. When he put his head out over the decoy BAMMM! Needless to say the DSD jake was turned into a baby rattle with TSS #8's and the big old boy rolled over and was down for the count.. 21.2lbs, 1 1/8" sharp spirs which is rare to see here in PA and a 9 3/4" beard. He wants him mounted so we are going to mount him up fighting with the first bird I shot in NC. What you guys think?
