This Tom was with 3 hens, once he saw the decoy fan, he slowly started to strut our way. From about 50y out, he started running to us, gobbling on the run.
This 2nd video was a bow kill. Using a Knight & Hale Pretty Boy with Pretty Girl decoy and an original Doublebull Recurve Matrix 360 blind. Post 32 has a photo of the set up.

Helped a 9yo youth get his 1st Tom
Next up was a family from Tx.
I took their 12yo son with me, killed his 1st Tom in the morning and another that afternoon.
His dad was filming his mom, using a Mathews Jewel...oops, they forgot her release..by the time they returned for the morning hunt, birds were visible and they had to run them off to get in the blind..they came home for an early lunch and went back out. She killed her 1st animal with a bow that afternoon. So we killed 3 on friday..they left that evening as a bad winter storm was approaching.

Spring 2019 was another highly successful season.

Spring of 2020 will bring changes to the Ks Turkey units. The state currently plans to limit unit 3, 5, & 6 too 1 tag per person.. unit 2.. which is where i do most of my hunting will remain a 2 bird limit. I have 1 property with over 300 birds.. several other properties where i am seeing and hearing birds.
