Yesterday morning my son went on a turkey hunting trip before work. Daylight came and a bird gobbled right behind him and proceeded to pitch out right in his shooting lane. As he swung his gun over to shoot he saw that it was a Jake and decided to pass. As it walked away he thought that the bird looked awfully large and he knew it really gobbled well. Having heard another bird further behind him he made a few calls and this same bird started gobdling again and started coming right back up the hill toward him. Now having played a fair chase game he decided that if this Jake came in range he was going to shoot it….and that's how it happened….dead bird. Upon retrieving the bird he found that it had a full tail fan, one 15/16 inch spur and 1/2 inch spur, and a two beards, 3 inches and 2 inches both with apparent beard burn. Nice surprise!
