Tagged Out!

Night before opening morning I made the decision to buy two bow tags based on my scouting the week prior. As you all know how well turkeys cooperate at times the plan didn’t pan out. A week later I set up on a ridge where I had heard birds the week prior. The birds ended up being north of me quite a ways so at the end of the hunt I packed up and moved down the ridge about a half mile and setup for the morning. I snuck in super early the next morning and had tom fly down within 50 yards of me. I thought this is going to be my opportunity at a double with two tags in my pocket. Well the first tom down was on top of my decoys after two clucks, I smoked him and he flopped around and blew all the others off the roost! Second bird was kind of bittersweet. My wife and I welcomed our second child on April 25th and I was to be off for 2 weeks with paternity leave. On the first hunt after getting home with our new baby girl I had already filled my second tag! Had a jake work into my spread and hung around for well over an hour. Was contemplating on shooting him and being done and I looked up and had a tom coming full tilt at me. He ran the jake off and did not like my dsd. Goodluck to those still after them! Taking a buddy this weekend!
