RE: Team 6's struttin' zone!
Went hunting this past Friday and finally got to work a gobbler. He
was gobbling his head off and had already got on the ground before
I got to him. I set up as close as I could and made a call and he
answered, made another call and nothing, made another call and
nothing. Before I long I seen his red, white and blue head coming
through the brush. He got within 40 yards and I let the hammer down
on him. I got up to him and he had fooled me, it was a jake with a
5 1/2" beard. He gobbled like a full grown tom, unless he was with
a full grown tom that was doing the gobbling and he left him to come
to me but he was the only one I seen. I am not against shooting a
jake but I usually don't shoot one unless it is at the end of the season
here in Arkansas. Oh well, I still have 1 tag left and the season is not
over here untill May 5.
