Went turkey hunting yesterday. Used some unorthodox methods. He lives....
We watched & chased & stalked a group of about 20 turkeys. There was a really nice gobbler & comparable defenders. We were sitting in some bushes at one point & the hens came around another thicket at about 30 yards & then made their way back to the group. Their feathers in the sun were flashing greens & purples! That evening sun was hitting them just right, & if course the pictures don't do them justice. (I would welcome suggestions for better field pictures without lugging pro equipment if anyone has them!!!)
The flock wandered out onto the prairie & the light was getting low so we called it a day. Got a call 10 minutes after leaving the ranch that there were about 20 turkeys roosted where we had been sitting. Sounds about right. Now, I did get a shot right out of the gate & there is beautiful footage...of the miss. Maybe a post for a later day.
We toured the place a little & saw about 80 head of deer, probably 50 muleys & 30 whitetail. Can't wait to get out there & hunt deer this fall. That being said, we have 4 archery deer spots left. Send me a message!!
