Spring Turkey

[whaler1]

Surprised by how little bird movement I’ve seen. Hopefully the recent weather will be a bonus for a good season. Everything seems to be a few weeks behind schedule.

I drove up on a Tom and hen mating the other day while setting up a few popup blinds. The big groups appear to have broken up.

So I wouldn’t normally smack a Jake, but my little guy wasn’t going to let me live it down if I didn’t shoot lol. He has been asking to go on a turkey hunt for the last year. This morning was it. He got up at 3:45 this morning ready to go. He is an impressive 3 year old. Just loves it. Anyway, no action till 8:30 until 3 jakes came in gobbling like crazy. Then beat the life out of our tom decoy. Really cool interaction for him to see. A morning to remember
