cold weather calling
Finally got a chance to hunt a turkey on Saturday. The temperature was 17 degrees when I left the truck and wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't accustomed to all the warm weather we've had this winter...
Couldn't find any turkeys or sign anywhere, so decided to try another place altogether. I finally found some sign at about 10:30 - real fresh- so decided to set up against a tree and sit a spell.
Engaged in cold calling for the next hour till I caught movement out of the corner of my eye and saw a jake nonchalantly pecking and stepping my way trying to act non-threatening-like. Got the gun up and pointed his way when he stepped behind a tree and stretched his neck out. After about a minute he stepped out and looked my way while I got the dot on his neck. He didn't flop a bit after the 2 oz of 9s hit him at a little over 40.
Very grateful to get a chance at one...
