First time turkey hunting, first bird. We nicknamed him "Kamikaze Karl" - A jake that came into my yelping on a box call like he was dead set on getting shot... it worked...
Dad has been out visiting so I bought him a tag for his birthday and got him out last week looking for his first Merriam's. He can't get around like he used to so he was ready to finish the hunt after two mornings and one afternoon. I decided that we'd make a big detour on the way back to my house on day two to see if we could get lucky and find a bird that wanted to play during mid-day. I got this bird to respond at noon and Dad killed his first Merriam's at 1:15 PM at 11 yards.
