My cousin harvested his first bird...on his first turkey hunt ever!! This jake was roosted about 150 yds. across the field from our setup with 4 other jakes. This bird was gobbling good...which led me to believe he was a tom. They all pitched down and started feeding our way..this is when I figured out we were dealing with all jakes. He half strutted a few times for a second or two. They fed into around 30 yds before they all gobbled together twice...what a sight!! The lead two jakes moved on past which left the opening we needed to make a clean shot. This is the biggest jake I’ve ever seen personally...really healthy bird!! To say my cousin is hooked is an understatement!! Enjoy the video!!

If he wants to talk the talk, then he can walk the walk… with me to the truck!

Congratulations to the successful hunter on a fine first bird and an awesome hunt as well.

Congrats to both of you on a great hunt
I’ve been lucky enough to help some younger guys get there first deer best hunt you will ever have. I wish we had a better turkey population here I’d try and get them on one not that I’m a good turkey hunter but sometimes luck is on my side
