Well Saturday morning was a nice beautiful crisp morning, it found me 55 yrdas from a nice roosting tree. The toms were singing their early morning calls as they flew down to the ground. My heart was pumping as I just knew I would have them around me soon. Nooooo, that wasn't the case, they flew down and headed the other direction. I called for a bit, they talked back but I think they were actually calling me something bad in turkey talk as in a matter of 30 to 45 minutes they were all gone. I walked a bout a bit, met up with Dave and we walked around a bit, the we changed locations.
We set up a couple of decoys hoping we could lure some lonely tom out of the woods. We called for about an hour or so before we headed to see Toona.
Dave had to leave to go and do a few things but would be back in the morning. I met up with Ken (Toona) and his wife. Nice meeting you Mel.
We sat around chewing the fat before we headed out for an evening hunt. I took them were I had seen the birds in the morning to see if we could catch them coming back to the roosting trees. We no longer got to the area when Ken saw a lone hen about 400 to 500 yrads away. We watch her until I spotted a group of jakes about 200 yards out. Ken hit his call and the jakes came running. It didn't take them long to get to us and we all were going to put a bead on one shoot at the count of three. !,2,3 BOOOOOM, one hit the ground, then they ran and one came back , BOOOOOOM that one hit the ground. I went to get the two birds and we sat down for a minute before we decided to see if we could call any more in. After about an hour or so we started the LOOONNNNGGG way back to the trucks.
I had a great time, I have two more tags and hope to fill them all.
Toona, Mel and Dave I had a great time with all of you and we will have to do this again. I would up-load a couple of pics but this new format is a little hard for me to get use to.
BUT WAIT, THERE AINT NO TURKEY AT LBJ FOR SURE NOW< I SHOT THE ONLY TWO.......LOL
