Leah hammers her first of 2016

Post by gophert »

First let me say, my camera skills were TERRIBLE today. I did not get the kill shot. I have no idea what happened. I thought I hit record, but I must have hit record twice because all I got was the bird standing in front of us for about 1 second. The birds were vocal as usual. They've been flying down in this power line then flying across the creek into the big field to our left, but not this morning. They flew directly into the big field. All of sudden a bird takes flight from the big field to our left and flies straight into our decoys. I see it's a long beard and while I'm trying to hit the record button I hear Leah say "I got him!!". I tell her to "Bust Him!!!" About 5 seconds later, the game is over. There were probably 4 more longbeards still on the other side of the creek to our left so I tell her to sit tight to see if they cross the creek to investigate why their buddy is laying on his back. I could have killed one but I would have had to shoot across Leah so I decided to just call a bit. The hens eventually took them away from us strutting and gobbling. It was for sure a bamm bamm hunt! Bird was a good one, but not her biggest. 18.5 lbs...10" beard...1.25" spurs.

The "turkey dance" is slowly getting less and less the older she gets. She has really become a fantastic turkey hunter. Other than call, all I do is tell her when he's in the camera.
