Default RE: Team 2 !!! "THUNDERSTRUT"

Well, sometimes the success of another hunter is worth more than ones own success, and that held very true on my ltest trip to KS. I took a friend back with me who had hunted turkeys two other times with other guys but had never gotten close to getting a shot. Our first morning out, on the first stand, he filled both of his tags with two nice 9" bearded toms. To say he was happy would be an under statement for sure, and I'll tell ya, I really didn't care after that if I got a chance to fill my second tag or not, which I didn't. The first two days were good hunting weather and I had chances to shoot jakes, but I passed them up and bad, very nasty, weather moved in and pretty much ended the weekend for me. So, here's a pic. of me and him with his first two turkeys. It was an awesome moring for sure. I had called in 3 jakes first and told him that it was his choice to shoot them, or not. But, there were several long beards in the field also, so he passed on the jakes. It's a good thing he did because I finally convinced 6 hens to come to us, and they drug three long beards with them. Once the toms got seperated a little, I gave him the go ahead and he dropped the first one, and when the other two toms didn't vacate the area immidiately, I told him to shoot his second bird, if he so chose to do so, and I no more than got the words out of my mouth and he had the second bird down as well.He now has memorys that will last a life time, as do I!!
