Wow, That's one awesome Osceola gobbler!! The video is cool,in Kent's voice, you can really hear how gracious he is to have the opportunity.

As a turkey nut myself, I can only imagine how good he was feeling in that video!!

Congrats Kent

Yup,Kent is a world class turkey hunter and knows how special that bird is.
Sean Bleakley is there now trying to work his calling majic. We are going to give it a whirl in the am.

Beautiful Osceola Kent! Congratulations. Sean, good luck to you!!!

A sincere "Thank You!" to all of you for your congrats!! I really appreciate it! It's so amazing to see so many fellow archers genuinely happy for each other's successes. It's one of the reasons I'm so proud and humbled to be part of such a great fraternity. Thanks again!
To Jim and Irv of True South Adventures, I had an amazing hunt and can't wait to return! Irv and Jim are hard working outfitters, guides and hunters and are in this for all of the right reasons. If you're interested in taking a swing at an Osceola, give TSAs your consideration. They have a large population of birds w/little to no hunting pressure. I saw and heard birds every day of my hunt and their property is crawling with critters of all kinds from birds, to hogs, to armadillo, to gators and snakes!! A True South Adventure!!!!

Sean has been texting me updates and has been talking w/ some gobblers last night and this AM. It's just a matter of time, buddy!! Continued luck and I can't wait to hear all the details, Sean.
Good Hunting to Y'all!!
~Kent

Kent. I'd like to hear about your set up/hunt...decoys, how much calling you did, etc.....

maineac · « **Reply #55 on:** March 20, 2013, 07:15:00 PM »

Sean B · « **Reply #56 on:** March 20, 2013, 08:43:00 PM »

Congrats Brother!!!! We had a great time. I'll let u know how tomorrow goes!!

Sure Curt... The "skinny jake" i mentioned in the video I believe is a flextone funky chicken deke. Skinny body, long neck, very unthreatening (Irv's secret weapon!). We set him up @ 10 yards, between myself and two "standard" hens. I've killed several nice gobblers using a single hen set w/ a Cally Morris stuffer deke and that's usually my go-to. But, this ugly little thing worked very, very well on this bird! In regards to my calls, very basic clucks, purrs and yelps on pot and box calls and very sparse. I will talk back if being spoken to, otherwise, very subtle and conservative. I leave the "real" turkey talking to the experts!! I've hunted w/many amazing callers, Sean B. is one of the best I've had the pleasure of hunting with. So, Sean should probably chime in on this one. However, I do believe that osceolas tend to be much less talkative than there subs and if they gobble at you, they're likely hot and on the way. This gobbler came in totally silent and almost gave me a heart attack

Congrates Kent! That is a dandy Osceola.

Guru · « **Reply #59 on:** March 21, 2013, 06:57:00 AM »

That's cool Kent!

I figured from the video that it was the "Funky Chicken" decoy that was being referred to. Wierd looking but probably irresistible for a gobbler not to come a bully around...pretty cool that it worked so well for you.

Cally Morris is a good friend of mine....don't talk much now that he's always on the go. But I've known him since '87. I met him on my first elk hunt, he was one of the guides. Then never saw him again till my taxidermy competition days. We became close and I hunted his farm a few times in the early 2000's. Him and Annetta are awesome people and hardcore hunters!!

I've always heard that Osceola's don't talk much, that's why I asked. What time was it that you killed him?

Congrats again on a dream come true!!
