Well my annual Texas hunt has come to an end. It provided a lot of opportunity but not may shots. Had 5 different good bucks at 10 to 15 yards, 4 different 8 points and a really nice 11 point, but all were either facing me or quartering to me and I will not take that shot. All of them exited without offering a shot.
I have been trying to kill a turkey for many years, have had shots but never pulled it off until this year. This Jake gave me a shot and I did my part. He could not fly after the shot but managed to get in the thick brush behind my blind about 60 yards away. I was gonna let him sit because it was prime time but due to the number of coyotes in the area thought better of it and retrieved him, good thing I did because I no sooner got back in the blind when the coyotes lit up behind me within 10 yards.
I am proud to have him and it is the first turkey I have killed with any weapon. No hero pic yet, waiting on my friend Smitty to email it to me so this will have to do for now.
Cannot wait to return to my native land next year.
