Texas turkey success

[Jaker_cc]

My wife and I doubled up on nice birds on opening weekend.

Her bird hung up about 200 yards out for 45 min. I gave him the silent treatment and the poor fella couldn’t stand it. He broke into a run and assaulted my Jake decoy at 6 yards. He finally stood still and my wife gave him the business with her bow.

My bird came about 3 hours later when I spotted a pair of toms on the edge of a field with a single hen. I crawled to the edge of a fence row and busted the closest bird with the shotgun.

Now that we have 2 in the freezer it’s back to archery only looking for good 3 year old birds.

A little miscommunication led to this Jake getting the ticket this afternoon. Can’t beat that smile though, so no worries. He will eat good

Awesome!
Do the two of you keep hunting journals?
Now would be a superb time to start!

We don’t, but it would be really cool to see her perspective of a shared experience

From experience, ten years down the road you can go back and read your journal and be surprised at the little details you DON'T remember!!
I would willingly share my journal with anyone, IF they could read my handwriting! LOL!
