Title: ba.....ba......BAM!
Post by: Dsturgisjr on May 02, 2009, 01:46:00 PM
Hunting in IN this morning. There was a truck parked where I planned on going. The neighbors had a guy walking in next to my second choice. Drove around and parked on the other side of the section. Went to a not so hot spot. This little jake walked by and I thought, "Man, I'm tired of getting up at 4:00.

I missed him at 12 yards. He hung around too long and I knocked feathers off him at 20. Finally I shot the way Rod taught me (LOL) and executed a perfect shot.

Not the biggest or smartest turkey I've ever shot, but at least I can sleep in a little and my tags are filled.

His little fan only had 2 long feathers   :saywhat:

You cant eat the long feathers anyway. If it wasnt for "dumb" Jakes I'd have no archery Turkeys...I luv-em.
Congrats Denny!

Biggie, LOL I didn't have a clue what you were talking about. I had to look him up.

Emeril John Lagasse (born October 15, 1959) is an American celebrity chef, restaurateur, television personality, and cookbook author. A regional James Beard Award winner, he is perhaps most notable for his Food Network shows Emeril Live and Essence of Emeril as well as catchphrases such as "Kick it up a notch!" and "BAM!"[

I saw this little two year old girl on tv; reciting the capitols of different countries. Brilliant child.

The turkey may have been small-( but for one wise hunter) - he would have lived to be a hundred !!

Nice shot  :)
