Today I had the pleasure of guiding Bob Heitman on a turkey hunt. We located a tom just before day light and got set up. The birds came down from the roost and then went silent on us. We gave it 20 minutes and they would not cooperate so I made an executive decision and we were off to try and find another likely target. After walking 500 yards to the North I gave a yelp and got a thundering response from less than 100 yards away. We quickly got in the brush and I gave another yelp. Within seconds the jake was on us and Bob put the hammer down. Although it is not the biggest turkey out there he sure gobbled like he was king. All in all it was a great hunt with a very happy hunter.
