Tagged out! I busted two during the first week of the season. Here's the numbers for my best bird. I busted him at 35-40yds, but it was hardly a classic spring set up. I drove down a fire/forestry road to check some areas I have hunted before. I busted two small flocks of turkeys on the road. When I got to a curving rise, I stopped the truck and walked up. I threw a few yelps out, and got nothing. As soon as I topped the rise, two toms gobbled. I yelped again, once, and they cut me off. The next thing, there's two birds in the road. One looked at me and gobbled. I waited for them to separate, since I only had one tag left. The "gobbler" gobbled again and high stepped behind a bush. The second bird was walking away from me. Once his friend cleared the road, he stopped for a second...Boom! Pix coming.
