Spring Turkey Success

Paul had spent the first half of this spring turkey season on a deer lease out past San Angelo without success.  He was new to turkey hunting and hungry for success.  We set up our first date on April 14.  We saw turkeys all day but the Toms had hens with them and wouldn't come over for a closer look.  Paul came back on April 29, we moved into the woods at 6:am.  At 6:30 the Toms started gobbling.  Instead of calling, we waited patiently, knowing the path they had taken on our previous hunt.  At 6:50 a Tom strutted to within 20 yards, curious about the decoys we had set.  Paul harvested his first turkey with a perfect head shot.

Turkey hunting is an exercise in patience, stealth and scouting.  Paul was rewarded with a bird that had a long beard and worn spurs.  At the WildRockingP, we're committed to making the most of your hunting experiences.  Paul didn't fill his tag on the first outing, so we exercised our policy; if you don't find the quarry you seek, you can come back in the season at no charge.
