It was my turn to hunt this morning. Right after light I had a tom working but a hen intercepted him, with that look in her eyes. You know the one I am talking about. The "How you doin" look. Off they went to the wild yonder to never be seen again.
Around 8:00 I am doing some soft calling and a jake enters the end of the field. He appears to be looking for the sick hen, not love sick, just sick. I can't call worth a darn.
He spots my decoy, now I spent $120 on this decoy and it looks like the real thing. I begged Mindy to let me spend $500 on the stuffed hen decoy, but I lost that battle. The jake inspected my decoy from a distance, to make sure the funny sounds it was making was not due to a STD. Satisfied, the jake heads my way. Apparently my decoy has that same "How you doin" look. He comes right in and circles my decoy twice.
So there he is thinking this is his lucky day, he tries to mount my decoy. As he is on top of it I say to my self, its now or never. Slowly drawing my bow, picking what looks like I good spot. I send a steelforce turkey head his way. Now for you guys out there, just how would you like to get shot, just as you are beginning special act of procreation.
My arrow strikes right where I am looking, and that poor boy flops around wondering what the heck happened. A short run and its all over. The turkey broadhead did its job, the arrow stayed in and he never even tried to fly. He never had a chance. Blinds and good decoys make all the difference in the world. If I can do it anyone can do it.
Its has the ugliest fan I have ever seen, but I don't care.
