Birds were gobbling in the neighbors woods, not much at my place. 615 a red headed turkey appears at 30 yards but can't see enough to determine jake or tom. Could have made the shot but without being able see a beard I didn't want to risk it. 0705 I call softly, hands back on the gun and wait. 0717 my righthand gets tired so i slowly put it down and PUTT! Not 15 steps behind me was a jake slipping in. He didn't flat out run away but walked back behind me putting a few times as he walked off. I decided that I simply didn't have enough cover and prepared a new spot. Currently at home washing the stinch of failure out of my clothes!

"Sneaky birds"?
Yes they are and then sometimes they can be soooo dumb..
"Sneaky" outweighs "dumb" by a long shot...

Pop up blind takes care of movement, wind, rain, lack of good camo. Not as stealthy as out on your own, but I take whatever I can get for help! Good luck. By the way, my godson killed a 24lb jake last year, I may have not passed on that one.

I did find amother spot against some downed trees to use for cover, but I am also considering moving my blind into the woods. |
