azhuntnut Report post Posted April 18, 2015 Last year I decided to give turkey hunting a try. I was never able to get all that excited about hunting them until I took my boys out. We got into turkey's several times, but they already had hens and wouldn't come in close enough. This year I decided to really get after it and scouted for the last three weekends. I had some birds located and was excited for opening morning. Opening morning found me and my son calling in a bird. He took almost 25 minutes to get to our set up. Once he got close enough we saw it was a jake. He saw my decoy and moved off. This morning we were back in the same spot and had them gobbling. It sounded like there were 4 birds gobbling, but once again they took there time. Finally a single bird came to my calls, which I'm not sure if they are very good. I'm still learning at this point. He came in quiet and hung up behind some jack pines for about five minutes at 20 yards staring at the decoys. I hit my call a few times to get him moving and he slowly walked in just behind the decoys as if they weren't even there. He fed slowly behind them until my son had a clear shot. This is his first turkey and my first time helping kill a turkey. I am hooked on this turkey hunting now. I got some video using my GoPro and will post the video once he gets finished editing it.
