More Junior Turkey Success!

On the last morning the juniors could hunt before having to take a two week break Skyler connected.  We have had lots of close encounters but just bad luck has kept him from killing prior to this morning hunt.  We found this bird in the roost and made a quick circle to get into place for the fly down.  He held for quite a while and finally decided to come take a look, that was his fatal mistake.  Be sure to check out the video below it is pretty funny.  In two weeks we will be back at it, but in the mean time a little fishing and some archery bear hunts.

Turkey fever!

Five days into the Junior turkey hunt and the birds are calling well.  The last couple days we have found lots of birds that are with the ladies and really don't care about us stupid two legged creatures with turkey calls.  Here are a couple pics from some of the video I have taken so far this year.  This morning was awesome we had a tom roosted with three hens and another smaller tom, and boy did he like to gobble.  After they finally pitched down from the tree into a small opening about 200 yards from us the strut activity was on.  Unable to pull him from his hens we backed out and will be sitting very close to the small opening they landed in today come tomorrow morning.  None of today's video is on this section of video below.  Good luck to all!!

Junior Turkey Opening Morning!

One of my older sons friends asked if he got draw for some tags would I help him?  That was a no brainer for me, I love hunting with kids they are awesome. The excitement level started after not drawing Javelina, but drawing a Junior Turkey tag.  This was going to be his very first big game animal so he got first shot in front of my kids.  After locating this bird last night we snuck in this morning and set up waiting for daylight as the bird gobbled and gobbled and gobbled.  Finally after some light hen clucks he pitched from the tree and almost landed in our lap.  Before I could get the camera going the hunt was over with one a well placed shot.  I will post more pictures later this weekend since we still have two tags to go.  All of this and they still made it back to school on time so they could play in there baseball game tonight.
