RE: ny luck
My spots haven't been known over the yrs as real good turkey spots. Usually get some action, and a few toms around. But this yr has turned out to be my best yr ever.
1st the youth hunt wknd I took out both my sons. My youngest, 12shot his first turkey a jake on the Sat. morning. Then on the Sun. my oldest, 15 shot his first turkey as well, also a jake. Both boys were pumped, and that alone made my season. I never expected could get any better.
May 1st, down to my camp. I finally got the monkey off my back there. Just a jake, but I was one proud hunter. Those birds have always been the toughest turkeys I've ever hunted. It see's alot of pressure. I normally let jakes walk, but in that situation it was so over due.
On May 6th I tagged out on a nice tom I'd scouted before season. It took me over 1hr to work him in, and I had to first work 2 hens to me, before he'd even make his way inmy direction. He had 8 5/8" beard, 1 1/16th & 1" spurs, 20lbs. Was one heck of a hunt.
Its a season I'll never forget!!!!!!!!
