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 First spring gobbler

I got my 1st spring gobbler today. It was a jake. He came charging in with 2 others and stopped 18 steps away when he saw my decoy. That' s when i took him. I had a great morning, had turkeys everywhere, lots of hens, then finally bagged this guy at 11:05. Last year was the 1st year I really tried for them, so I' m happy to score the 1st time out of my second season.
