Washington comes to Iowa - SUCCESS
« on: May 11, 2010, 04:52:34 AM »
Nephew, Forest, from Battle Ground, WA, came out to Iowa to hunt with his Aunt Julie and me this week. We got 'er done yesterday morning! This was Forest's first turkey hunt - 20 steps with a TK-2000 muzzleloader. Bird had a 10.5" beard and 1.25" spurs - and he put on a dandy show in the decoys. Boy did an incredible job behind the gun. Two hours and three birds later, Julie dropped the hammer on this great one - 11.5" beard and almost #21.

We're done on 16 May, but it's been a memorable season so far. To all of you, best of luck as the season out there winds down - The Deacon

Nice Birds!  I'd love to hunt some Easterns in that type of cover some day.

Great looking Easterns!  Congrats to both of the sucessful hunters.  A guy could get hooked on headin back every year to chase the Eastern Monarchs.  Their rattling gobble seemed to vibrate the very air!  I had my safety off more than once this year, only to be dubed by ultra wary toms.
