I have been real busy lately with work and school, but will graduate FINALLY in May. I have been on some unreal turkey hunts this year, but have yet to take one myself. Two weekends ago I called two different toms up within 40 yards, same land, same morning, 1/4 mile from eachother, and both times was unable to get a clean shot. Lots of hunters down here in Jackson have been dealing with the rivers flooding from all the rain. So either hunters not able to get to their land or have had a great season since the birds have been pushed up away from the flooding waters.
Last week I when on a hunt with my stepdad, Howard Garland and family friend West Garraway. Long story short, they sat next to eachother against tree while I was 15 yards or so behind them facing other way. I knew I had them cut off and that the 5 toms gobbling like crazy were about to come directly in front of me. Next thing I know I see Howard staring at me with a smile on his face, he then put his gun up and I knew what was about to happen, two shots fired, two birds down. Double Kill, Howards second this year. Was a great hunt with very talkative birds. Here is a picture of the kill.
