If you count youth season it would be my 7TH day of guiding and killing hammerheads on video. Now it was my turn to pack the gun instead of packing the camera. Some good friends and I were camping and when we set up the hunting parties for the day, Brian was going to be my guide and camera man. So we went back to a spot where I had heard turkeys the day before and sure enough we started the morning off with 3 toms hammering. When we went to make our move, Brian pointed at this mountain of a hill and said we're going to the top. We set up about three quarters of the way up in some open woods. It wasn't long before we had a big O strutter on his way to the hen decoy just 20 yards from me. That dude came in to 24 yards in full strut most of the way and when me and the camera man got on the same page, I let him have it! It sure is fun to be guided and filmed but its also fun to set back and do nothing but squeeze the trigger!! Thanks again Brian for calling and filming. My hunt was one I won't forget!
I loved it! Im glad Drake was with us...I think he had the best view of it all! That was a text book off the roost hunt. You deserved a good hunt for all the good footage you have been getting. Good job.
ReplyDeleteWe are taking a young friend of ours this weekend to try and get his first turkey. Should be lots of fun as well as pretty tough. Im guided and Kents the cameraman. Wish us luck!
Congrats on a nice bird Kent. Good job.
