    Nothing going on the roost again for me, so I took a ride around my spots and saw 9 Jakes and a long beard, 3 hens. My buddy told me to go stalk them down so I did..as he text me where they were.

    A 2 mile stalk thru bush and 87 temp it was a hot one. As I got close to the edge of the field I crawled the rest of the way because the turkeys were 40 yards out. When I was 5 yards away from the field edge a hen heard me in the brush and putted , but came in to see what I was . So I took my fan out of my vest ,fanned it out . She saw it and yelped a couple times and calmed down . I was 45 from the long beard. He just sat there and looked at me but 45 is good for me .I took the shot and folded him . What a season I had this year.

    9 1/2 beard and 1 1/4 spur Big birds this year

  2. Saturday am I got out to the woods for the roost hunt. Not a pep.. 6 am hit the call. Bird hammers 120 yards away I sit down , he gobbles again I stop calling . he gobbles . Next thing I'm wondering is where is he .... ha coyote wtf. Game over .

    I then go to another spot at 1030. I'm in the back of the woods, hit the slate . Turkey hammers back towards the truck but out in the field. he needs to get to the woods eventually and I'm in between. I creep through the woods to the field Edge. I look out into the field and see a Strutter also with a Jake. I hit the call again he gobbles and struts making his way very slow towards me. I stop calling to keep him looking. He makes his way to 45 yards but can't get a clear shot through the little bit of brush. He strutted back to where he was... Now I know I'll never call him back. So I'll have to see if he's the boss, I pulled out my turkey fan crawled out into the field 5 yards he sees the fan goes out of strut gobbling running as fast as he can 2 me he stops at 5 yards goes into full strut and goggles I dropped the fan and shoot him at 6 yards. It was the most unbelievable Adrenaline Rush ever.
