I actually got time to hunt more this season then I ever have. Stretched it all the way to closing day before even getting a shot off but, luckily one shot sealed the deal. Thanks everyone.

I remember my first time Turkey Hunting.I never went Turkey Hunting before I was allways a Deer Hunter.My Son in law Told me that its more exciteing then Deer Hunting ,I just thought he was crazy.Well, He asked me where I was going on the Farm,I said of course to my Deer Blind (Its at the base of a Big old Oak tree with a Big wash Out beside it.I just sat in my chair calling on a Box Call,and I'll be Dammed,one let loose Gobbleing on me.I'd call (I never left the Blind)it call back,about 1 hr later 2 jakes showed up.I could of killed both of them,but I let them separate then killed the Biggest,my first Bird.It was a Big Jake,but now it's On.This Turkey hunting is kinda FUN.I guess I'm kinda getting kinda picky now,good luck to you people..
