Got my little man out this weekend chasing some birds...
Yesterday we got a later start than I wanted(totally my fault for not being prepared, lost my slate call and walmart doesn't open till 6 a.m.)
We had birds gobbling all a.m. but I couldn't get them to come to us and they were on ground I don't have permission to hunt...
This a.m. was a different story.. same exact spot.. these birds were roosted about 100 yards from us.. we got out of the truck and the birds started gobbling at 530..
We rushed to get the blind set up and our decoy out... it was foggy so we had some time to get set up quietly.. There were 3 birds together gobbling at birds down the valley.. they would be gobbling back and forth( they were Jake's so they talked ALOT)
I Gave a few soft purs and clucks as it got lighter out just to let them know we were there while still roosted..
At 615 they got quiet and didn't hear a peep.. I figured they flew down.. so I gave one quiet pur and they erupted in all 3 banging their wings and gobbling...
At 620 my boy had his first turkey on the ground.. got to watch the other 2 Jake's ju p on this one as he flopped on the ground!!!!
So cool as I got it all on video too
