Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default 1st bird of 2006 season down...

This morning at 5:55am, I took my first gobbler of the 2006 season here in NY. Classic hunt all the way, except that two hens came in leading the gobbler, but they never made a single peep??? I was using a brand new box call by Jerry Zebro and the birds sure must of loved the sound of that box!! When he sounded like he was getting closer, I switched to a Knight & Hale mouth call to finish the deal. Bird's stats: 19.6 lbs, 8" beard and 7/8" spurs. I took some pic's and will post em' up, when I get the roll finished. One down, one more to go!!
