Jake from State Farm
« on: April 25, 2024, 11:38:53 PM »
Today was the first day I could get out this turkey season. From the minute I left the boat, I was into them. They were about 80 yards away and couldn’t get a good look. It turned out to be a group of jakes. They moved off so I dropped down the hill to get around them and catch them at a choke point. They came into 60 yards, but wouldn’t cross a big downed log. They would respond every time I called but wouldn’t move from that spot. After about 45 minutes, I lost my patience and decided to slip in. I got to 40 yards and picked one out with a visible beard. I hit him with the first shot and he flew right at me. We stood there looking at each other for a split second so I put another one in him. Since I only had two days to hunt turkey, I wasn’t going to be picky. To top it off, I caught a couple of fat trout in the late morning and finished the night off with a ribeye over the fire. Pine smoke doesn’t taste the best but it’s edible when you’re hungry.

werent you supposed to be fishing from your boat?
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I was fishing from camp. I mainly use the boat to access public land.
