Post Todays hunt
Me and Shane took off this a.m already agreeing it would be Shanes turn to call in one for me. After getting to our listening spot and hearing 3-4 birds gobbling next to my folks home was wondering if we made the right move. Shortly a gobbler sounded off 150 yda below and thanks for the rain yesterday we could move in quietly. The only thing was it was VERY foggy. After a tree call from Shane the bird responded but didn't want to fly down anytime soon. Shane then just shut up and about 45 min later i heard birds flying down opposite of were the gobbler was at. They hit 30 yds in front both of them were jakes. I knew that gobbler could see them and thought it wouldn't be long before he flew down thinking them jakes were going to beat him to the hen. Just then i heard him fly out of the tree and hit with themn jakes but when he hit the ground he was looking away from me. I then move the gun just a little to get him in my sight and the jakes started putting so i kneew it was now or maybe never so down he went. The only thing was when we got there to him he was also a jake with a 6 inch beard. I didn't want to do that but it happen but Shane was still happy that he called in a bird for his dad so that is all it matters. It was a great day out and heard plenty gobbling. By the way Max Shane said if them green callers call in jakes he wants his money back. :lol: :lol: :lol:
