it wouldnt come in

Unread postby Uncle Lou » Wed May 06, 2015 1:44 pm

I think I waited for almost 10 minutes after I called- Twice.

I should do the short story then have some fun.

Short story, went to vote, saw a farmer friend at the polls, she asked if I been to her property lately, I said no. Finished my work in the office, went to town bought a late season tag, told my wife I was going to Dwight and Theresas, walked around in the rain looking for turkeys, saw one. It didn't like my calls or couldn't hear me. I thought about circling in front, then it stepped 5 yards my direction, I slithered across the grass to a bush. It didn't come. Must have went the other way, now I am circling to find it. Looking at deer trails, looking for morels, kinda looking for the turkey I am supposed to be hunting.

Nice rub, I think there is an opening on top, turkey flashes, Lou is in Enigma camo it clearly cant see me everyone knows it can't hear me (it's raining), I knew to be patient (know that was funny) bang, flop, dead(kinda). Took a couple pics while I was standing on it, tagged it as soon as my foot came off (I swear).

That was fun. Bought the tag at 2:30 shot it around 4pm. Made it home, took shower and had to run to the school for Elllie's 5th grade camp meeting

I have to show the widow maker. I love that gun, but it is starting to kick the poop out of me

Then I was so wet and bloody from carrying this bird out and being in the rain for a few hours, I had to wash my pants and change clothes to go to the school, so I had to put my other Enigma jacket on (what you guys don't have two, not my problem call chuck and fix that)

11" beard, didn't weigh it, guessing 22-23 lbs. about 1" spurs. Another bird that didn't want to come to the call, oh well. Shootem and Eatem

Appreciate the replys, and think my short version pretty much covers it, BUT.

My older brother told me more than once, Lou you cant run down the big toms. You might be able to shoot jakes and fall hens that way, but you aren't going to get the mature toms that way. Wish he was still here to see another fall to me this way.

He was a good caller and I'm not, but I got another good one bro. I put on the hat you gave me 2 weeks before you passed as I thought it would bring me some luck. Nothing like a rain to cover up some blunders though. This one is for you bro.

Sorry had a flashback and needed to do another tribute.

Good job nice bird.
