2020 MT turkey. That old box call was my FIL’s. He used to cut a notch in it for every turkey that was called in with it and killed. We’ve continued that tradition. I cut the 68th notch with this one. Hunting Husband added the 69th about an hour later.

This morning Sydney got her first turkey. He eluded us two weeks ago when we set up a blind. This time we did a “run and gun” style hunt where we went where we could ambush him.

He gobbled and strutted behind a pile of stumps so we went at him. Syd stepped around and gave him a load of #5 shot at 10 yards. It was a great stalk.

My fiance with her first turkey and first game animal ever. She did good, what a fun hunt. Called in to approximately 10 yards.

It looks like he's got some nice white feathers.

I got this big boy yesterday morning. I started off on a farmers tip on where they had been roosting which involved a pre dawn excursion around an 80 acre wheat field that should have put me silently in their hip pocket. At daylight, this joker sounded off from a roost on the ridge 500 yards past where my truck was parked, approx 1300 yards away. After not hearing anything else closer, I headed his way and it sounded as though he was still on the roost. At about 500 yards out I started calling and to my surprise he and another answered. I continued to close the gap until we were about 200 yards apart and they shut up so I sat down. About 30 minutes later the two tom’s silently slipped in to about 45 yards and this one gave up the first shot. The whole hunt spanned nearly 2 hours of us playing cat and mouse. He had 1.5in spurs, the beard went 10.5in, and weighed in at 24lbs. His buddy is still on the loose, but I still have tags. To be continued...
