I got setup probably 20-30 minutes before first light and shortly after first light i had birds talking all around me! Thought I was going to get the deal sealed really early but after about an hour they all quit talking. Well 9 o'clock hits and i'm like screw it I'm packing up and heading home and give it another try in the evening. Well right after i got out of my blind i was like hell i'll give one more call out and what do you know as soon as i did i had a bird gobble back at me about 50-60 into the trees!!!! i hurry up and get back in the blind and call at him again and i hear him getting closer! I stay quite for the next 10 minutes and all of a sudden i hear him drumming and strutting just 10 yards to the left of me!!! I look over and he's right at the fence and when i see his beard i knew this was a bird i wanted to shoot! Being this is my first time actually having a tom coming in to me instead of a damn jake i started to getting really excited and nervous at the same time! He hangs up at on the other side of the fence for about 5 minutes that seemed more like 2 hours and then he finally comes under the fence and the rest is history! 19 Pounds 1" spurs and 8 1/2 inch beard!
Awesome video and great shot. Congrats on a nice bird. Way to go that is about the time or a little later that my Jake came in last year. (my first turkey) Again congrats good job all around! Cal
Good job. Patience is key! he would have bolted if I had hit the blind like that while drawing. /year 3 trying to get it done with a bow...
Thanks everyone for the positive feed back! It was such a rush to arrow my first turkey and also getting it on film! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
