Yup, this kid has whacked 0 birds.
So far.
Been about 50/50 on using decoys.
I'm a junkie, weening my self off them slowly.
Been playing cat and mouse with the same gobbler for two weeks.
I've belly crawled, ran the 200 yard sprint, and have the bug bites and bruises to prove it.
Went out this morning for a quickie til 9:00, one Jake came within 20 yards, didn't see big Tommy.
Buddy texts me at 10:30 and says he's out in the field gobblin his head off.
I got text messages that will make you chuckle.
Afternoons seem more active.
Had a Jake Wednesday that got within 5 yards and Big Tommy got within 50 with a herd of deer 20 yards behind him. Didn't shoot. I ain't pissin my buddy off and loosing my spot.
Back at it tomorrow afternoon.
I'll say it's been a blast. I've learned a lot so far and huntin Tennessee is 10x more fun than flat land Illinois.
Did I mention I've never killed a Turkey.
I did call one in for my son when he was 14 and have the beard hanging up.
