Owens had a tough season with the weather, and a miss with his bow last week so this morning we decided to take old trust worthy.
We set up on a spot where we’ve been seeing birds the last 2 mornings.
Got to the spot just before 5 when we realized Owen had forgot his chair. So we got all set up and I ran home quick to grab the chair. (We were only a few miles from home)
on the way I smacked a deer with the front of my truck. I probably was going a little too fast.
When I get back to the spot a tom is already hammering away, It was only 5:15.
I get to the blind to find out I can see the tom up in the tree gobbling his head off. I can even hear him spitting and drumming he is that close. Not good from my past experiences.
He flys down and heads deeper into the woods, I tell Owen it probably won’t happen and he says “it’s not if you don’t be quiet”
All of a sudden a hen starts yelping right next to us! I look out the side window and can see 2 up in the tree.
I started moving the jake decoy and within seconds Owen says there he is. He comes into the decoy strutting his stuff and Owen dropped him in his tracks at 5:50.
