My first Turkey bow kill. Although, it’s only a Jake it was my first Turkey Kill in the Spring with a bow and I can honestly say this hunt was probably the best I have ever had in the Turkey woods. He means more than any Tom I have ever taken with a Shotgun. This hunt was action packed from the first gobble on roost. I watched the same Tom for three hours strut in front of me. The closest he came was 50 yards and the fact that he had a hen with him didn’t help. The bigger problem was all the eyes I had on me. I ended up calling in 1 Hen, 1 Tom and 8 Jakes (2 groups of four) The Tom was a smart old guy and just knew something was up and would not commit. I told myself ” I’m not going to shoot a Jake, they will be nice Tom’s next year” After an hour of this at 20 yards my brain began to offer other thoughts and i gave in to temptation. Still it was a good learning experience and much knowledge was gained from the two birds I took this spring. I have a bunch to learn about speaking the language of a turkey.
