Yesterday morning was wild..
I was set up in my blind on the corner of a 40 acres field. I had out my Avian X half strut jake and a feeder hen.
There was some serious gobbling going on in behind me about 5:30 am CST. I made a couple series of calls and then waited.
Without any warning (gobbling) I had two gobblers come into the field 15 yards from me. They headed straight for the Avian X Jake decoy. I had to wait until they separated and shot one and dropped him. He began his flop. The other one didn't leave but started flogging my Jake decoy . He stopped for a second and looked at the flopping bird as if to say “what the heck is the matter with you”? I thought he might jump on the flopper, but he went back to the decoy. I let him do that awhile but then I thought he might puncture it. Plus my bird started flopping more so I thought I'd better go get him.. I finally got out and ran him off . He went back the way he came....
Two year old bird but a nice beard.. Probably the prettiest bird I’ve ever killed. He has a lot of red on him. I saw a hen later that had the same coloration.
We had these two birds on the trail camera last week. This is in front of my son’s blind. They were chasing a jake. I guess when they saw my decoy they thought they had caught up with him
