Default Got my first turkey ever! 2nd year hunter

Hey!!!

I hunt state land in Ohio and got a 15lb. Jake second day of season yesterday!!!

This is my second year and fortunately, my hunting buddy has been doing this a long time at this particular forest.

With an hour left to hunt he called and three gobblers went off across a bowl on top of ridge across from us. We hiked to the top and worked our way to within about 100-150 yards of them and he had me setup near the ridge.

He called from about 30 yards behind me for about 5 minutes but no gobbles. Then all of a sudden i heard the leaves crunching just over the other side of ridge.

Two jakes had been on their way the whole time but not calling. As soon as I saw his head and beard come over crest, I let him have it at 18 yards.

It was awesome, and I am going to get my second tag this week and I'll be out again this weekend for more. Now I am really hooked and all this hard work paid off!

Will post pics when I get em back.
