firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted October 11, 2023 Realized i never posted this. Nothing too fancy, just a jake but FINALLY my first turkey. Walked up the hill to us calling, all while gobbling his assss off. Had to lean around a tree for the 45 yard shot and sent him tumbling down the hill. Had other toms around us so forgot the field photos as we continued to hunt. Had my son with me and he took the photos. He loves to carry a safe and empty weapon for dad.... And I don't hate it! 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted October 11, 2023 Nice! I’ve had a lot of turkey tag soup so you’ve got 1 more than me. Youth turkey hunt is usually a blast too if your son is interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazymonkey Report post Posted October 11, 2023 Third time is the charm for me . This is the third time I've been in 6a for turkey . Dropped the wife and daughter up at elk camp Saturday and headed back to work Sunday . I was back to hunt Sunday afternoon and was on 5 or 6 birds before the thunder and rain shut everything down. Got a late start Monday morning about 730 and headed towards where I called a bird and the bear the last time. I made it about half way there and caught movement . I thought squirrel and rolled forward another foot or two and turkeys ran out in front of me . Out of the sxs and boom hit a bird . Had to chase after them a hit the bird again. Just a small Jake but I'm happy after 2 other unsuccessful trips. I'll have to post a picture later when my signal is better. For the guys from Tucson my wife was talking with at happy jack lodge when getting ice . I'm sorry but we don't give her real names for where we hunt . Wickenburg camp was named for the poor guys from Wickenburg that were ill prepared to hunt all those years ago . Elk camp is just that it's elk camp where we go when we're drawn for elk ,deer,or turkey. We tend to re- name the waterholes as they earn there names . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

knothead Report post Posted March 21 Congratulations. When toms are gobbling and responding to calls, it is probably 2nd only to bugling bulls for adrenalin rush. Varmint calling is a very close 3rd. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Varmint calling is a very close 3rd. I agree. 2nd and 3rd place though are probably 2a and 2b. A predator coming to hand calls is a rush. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best experience I've ever had calling was a double, where i got one as did my buddy. Both with our 870s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
