Soi hit 3 spots yesterday had 1 fly off the roost come toward me but couldnt get him into shooting range. 2nd spot called in 5 Jake's to 10 yards. 3rd spot 2 Jake's at 20 yards.. Glad to see all the Jake's this year as last year I didnt see none.. next time out will be Sunday the 21st.. good luck everyone.

Well congrats to another successful Hunter/huntress
She did all the work on finding a place that was loaded with turkeys
So we went and scooped out the farm last night, and well on the way down the farm road saw a big ole Tom walking into the adjoining wood lot, we gave him some time and walked in to locate a good location for this morning, after about ten min I located a nice spot with some ok shooting lanes, and brushed her in at the base of an old rotted pine.

Got to the woods at about 5 this morning on walk to our set up we heard a gobble right over the bank from where we had picked to set up.

I slowly sneaked out and set the decoys out which saved us
Lol
The bird heard the first few yelps on  a Ronny special.
I only called maybe twice more well on roost both times he sounded off.
We heard him fly down away from us but instantly started to talk walking his way towards the fields circling up to our left
I could now see him coming in but again way off to our left so I did not call
He ended up strutting about 10 yards away from me to my left literally five yards from her husband but he could not turn to see either, with no shot for the hunter. I feel bad she could not even see him due to his location less than 15 yards from her
As I watched not calling at all he set up a strut zone and as he turned he Cought glimps of the decoys went out of strut and headed right at them coming into view to the Hunter at about 15yards, as soon as he passed a tree she settled and squeezed one off and he went down in a heap.
Just over 9" beard
3/4" spurs
Guess weight 17-18 lbs

Congratulations everyone. Here is a picture of my son Chase with his first bird. He harvested this one during the youth weekend. 20lb, 9” beard and I called it in with one of Ron’s aweomse handmade pot calls. He also used his Mossberg .410 pump with TSS loads. Such a fun little gun for turkeys. I’m amazed on the punch that the TSS shot has.

And here’s mine from last week. 21lb, 10” beard. I also used my sons .410 and Ron’s call did the magic again. I guess I just couldn’t let my son outdo me. 🤣
