Shot this tom at 7 yards from a DB blind. The Woodsman head cut off the near wing and the primaries fell on the ground. Kind of wierd.

The weather has been terrible and was glad to get the job done. This is the tenth mature MI tom I've been lucky enough to shoot the last 10 years straight.

Nicely done Denny, just wondering what kind of set up you used as far as decoys (jake? hen? ) Ive had alot of mixed reactions from my set ups. Not to mention a miss on a jake and the weather has been awful! So needless to say I'm stil in the hunt...DB

DB, every time I tried dekes the big toms hung up at 50 yards so I don't use them in MI. I set up off the roosting area 100 to 200 yards on a travel corridor with some thick cover near by. Just call and sometimes call out the back side of the blind. Seems like they come in looking for a hen in the thick cover.

10 for 10! Impressive! Congrats! I can't wait for May 2nd. After dealing with terrible weather in the early season the last two years this year I decided to go for the late season. This will be my first year to turkey hunt with my new BW PSA II.

10 toms in 10 yrs?! Hmmmmm... either you get them tied up for you or I'm doing something wrong!

kbetts · « **Reply #18 on:** April 23, 2011, 08:41:00 PM »

I like your idea of no dekes. I live in the land of small parcels and tight cover. Been hard at it for going on three weeks and this last one will be without the plastic.

Congrats on the bird. I'm trying to make it three for three, but without a blind. A whole lot of things have to go right and all at the same time...........
