double down jakes
 

A friend and I doubled this morning on a set of jakes. It was his first turkey. Set him up in my spot along a woodline along a field. I went down the woodline about 200 yards. These two jakes came in strutting and he finally got a shot. .... and he missed. He took another shot and dropped one of them. The second one came across in front of me at an all-out full speed run. I dropped him right in front of me at about ten yards.

Hunter: jmedenf
species: eastern
Weight: 15.5 lbs
Beard: 4.5 inches

15.5 + 9 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 29.5

One week down, three more to go. No luck today. Saw a jake and a hen. No gobbling at all despite it being a nice weather day. On the up side, picked up a shed walking out. One more tag to fill and have properties not hunted yet. Back at it next week.

Congrats to all that got one already.

My grandson and I will be going out in the morning after I get home from work. We probably won't get out to our spot until about 8:30. I have always gotten out there before sun rise. Should I approach this hunt differently. Maybe try and locate some birds then try and set up on them. Input would be appreciated.
