Little Creek Calls Report post Posted April 26 I was able to get my turkey on opening morning. Something different happened on this hunt that I have never seen or heard of before. After I shot my turkey he is flopping around on the ground when out of nowhere a bald eagle comes dive bombing out of the sky through the trees and lands on top of my dead turkey and starts attacking him with his talons and beak. I guess he wasn't bothered by the gunshot I had just used on the Tom. Anyways I had to run quickly to scare him off before my dead turkey flew away. 26 1 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My son has had it great. Every year he's had turkeys called in with lots of gobbling and the ideal turkey hunting experience every year. When I was his age there was no over the counter youth hunt. My dad and I had no clue what we were doing when we first started turkey hunting. We attended many classes and seminars on how to hunt. We still failed most years but we kept at it and all the experiences and time made me the turkey hunter I am today. Do I wish my dad would have been a better turkey hunter and spoiled me, sure but I grew a lot closer to my dad through learning together. I am really grateful to him because he was the one who originally wanted to start turkey hunting. For me it was just a way to bridge the gap between the fall big game hunts. Now it's become my favorite hunt of the year. So keep at it your son is lucky to have a dad like you who takes him out each year. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly I don't get up in the north woods much any more but every time I see an eagle its on or near a larger body of water. It's been year but on more than one occasion I have had an eagle swoop in on hooked trout while stripping flies from a float tube on Chevelon Canyon Lake. Congrats on the bird!

Congrats on the bird! ln looking at the map it looks like I was about 4 miles from the nearest lake. He must have been up high in the sky watching the flock of Turkey waiting for the right opportunity. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
