« on: April 15, 2015, 11:33:14 AM »
Spring seasons are starting and there are stories to tell.

Check out the tom in the 5th photo, in the back yard at one of the ranches we hunt!   :chuckle:

The evening before the youth season the winner of the youth turkey hunt contest "Nate" and his dad arrived for the hunt. Jrebel also arrived to help with the hunt. Nate shot his gun and received the new turkey hunting gear that was part of the contest prizes. The next morning we were all in position before daylight, as the skies brightened we listened to gobblers going off loudly on both sides of us. Shortly after daylight the birds were working closer and closer, we saw one gobbler go over the ridge a little out of range to the left, then soon here come another gobbler strutting behind some hens, before long the tom was within about 20 yards, "Whammo" Nate had his first tom down. :IBCOOL:

We tried another hunt without success and left for another property, soon we had more birds spotted and Nate and I put a stalk on a henned up gobbler. "Boom" Nate had his 2nd longbeard down before lunch, great shooting! We exchanged hand shakes, snapped lots of photos, and then had a nice lunch, I love it when a plan comes together!

Nate and his dad were great people, it was my pleasure hunting with them, congrats Nate!  :tup:

We had three boys here for the youth hunt. We all got to know each other at dinner and breakfast and headed out well before daylight to get in position. Kane and Justin were the other two boys. Kane nailed a longbeard the first morning and Justin nailed a longbeard later the first day too. Congrats to both boys, great shooting!  :tup:

General spring turkey season started this morning, amazingly few hunters in the woods, most hunters must be waiting for the weekend, 5 birds down already, pics and stories coming as soon as I get a chance.  :hello:

We got another bird after I posted, so 6 longbeards for the morning hunt, well one beard got blown off so I guess that one is more of a shortbeard now! LOL  :chuckle:

Radsav already tagged out with his bow on two nice longbeards, I'm telling you that guy is deadly with a bow in his hands, pretty good with a rifle too.  :tup:
