Here is my latest conquest from the spring turkey woods.
The bird weighed 19lb. 13oz. with a 10" beard and a pair of 7/8" spurs. Not a real trophy for Kansas, but a good solid bird.
I was using a jealousy decoy setup (jake and a hen) I set up on a partially cut corn field where the turkeys enter and leave on the way to the roost. It was getting close to sundown and he was working my way. I had been calling quietly so he was expecting to see a hen when he crested a rise close to the edge of the field. When he saw the jake with a hen he came running. He was strutting and picking on the jake but when he came out of the strut and stuck his head up he got rolled!
Those mature toms just hate to see jakes with hens!!! :lol:
Anyone else with pictures of a successful turkey hunt should feel free to add them to this thread. I would be interested to see what other folks here are taking this spring.
