Nice turkey! This past Saturday I almost got my first turkey. I primarily hunt State Land during Michigans late hunt. I've had a few close encounters in the past, but usually the birds are so call shy by then, that it's hard to locate them.
Saturday morning I went out at 5:30am and set up in a green field with my 56# Predator recurve and Ameristep blind. At first light I began calling and had a hen come in. With nothing happening there I moved to down to a field that had standing corn from last season. I set-up and the rain came.....HARD!! I read through Hebrews in my bible for about an hour, then I spotted another hen. She came about thirty yards from my decoy then wandered back into the woods. Ten minutes later she came back with a NICE Tom. He kept teasing me, puffing up and strutting, but would never come within 60 yards. I'm gonna keep after him until the season ends or someone else takes him. My buddies keep telling me to take a gun but I refuse! Even after getting skunked for the last 3 years, I want my first longbeard with my recurve. I guess I'm stubborn!
