Title: A jake for the table
Post by: centaur on April 07, 2016, 05:18:00 PM

Didn't see much this morning, so I went out to a honey hole this afternoon and saw 6 jakes and 3 hens, one of which was bearded. I thought about shooting the bearded hen, but the jakes were a bit more cooperative. After a short stalk, this one didn't leave quickly enough, and he will be dinner. The JD Berry Heritage does it again. A shot in the neck at about 15 yards put him right down. Now I can hunt for a big gobbler. Ain't it great?

If stalking wild turkeys with a longbow isn't one of the hardest things to accomplish, I don't know what is.  Congratulations!     :clapper:

There you go Pat, culling the flock again.  Our season is not open yet, but I have my eye on a group of jakes myself, the young ones taste better.   I don't how you can always find the ones that need glasses.  I thought that I found a blind old beard dragger last Sunday, but then I realized that he saw that there was no turkey tag in my billfold, so he had nothing to fear, yet.

Title: Re: A jake for the table
Post by: centaur on April 08, 2016, 12:17:00 PM

Larry, I don't think this bird had read the regulations, and wasn't quite sure what an old guy with a long stick and string was up to. I probably educated his buddies, who will go blabbing it to the old gobblers that 'he's back'. Might make the next bird a little tougher.

I hope we get a couple of frosty nights right before our season opens.  I hate it when I find a perfect place to sit, just to have the ticks move me around.  When they get a group effort going they can do anything.   I have ten days to get off of telescope time and onto turkey time, a twelve hour shift for me.  Good luck on the big boy.

My hat's off to you, sir. Stalking a wild turkey and killing it with a longbow is a true test of skill. Obviously, you passed with flying colors. Enjoy your well-earned dinner!
