Saturday Hunt
Reservation for the Saturday hunt at Poinsette Electronic Combat Range Shaw AFB, S.C. I drew South 3, my favorite unit. Got to the Long field and set up my decoy spread. Heard the first gobble at 655 AM. Waited about 5 minutes for him to pitch down from the roost and he gobbled again closer. Hit my box call and got an immediate response, it took him about 20 minutes to close the distance to the field. As soon as he saw my jake decoy he sped up his strut and hit the jake decoy hard! standing on top of the decoy he paused a second and raised his head. Knocked his head with a load of #5's at 30 paces and flopped him. 18.2 pounds lt spur 15/16'', rt spur 1'', beard 10 1/4''. Tagged out now, don't plan on hunting out of state so good luck Rejects, keep knocking them down. By the way, the Vortex Venom red dot worked great.
