BOWHUNT
IN NEBRASKA
Last
Day - Morning
Fred had his 3 tags filled
and I had one tag left to fill. So we hunted this morning before packing
up for the trip home. The weather alternated between windy, sunny, cloudy
and rainy with snow flurries. The morning hunt found us back on the side
of the hill above the picked corn fields. Here is our decoy set up 10 yards
from out Matrix Double bull ground blind.
After flying down a large
group of turkeys went into the nearest picked corn field and gobbled and
clucked as they cut a course toward the river, where they would be out
of the wind and bad weather. Below, Fred watches them with his fancy
Leopold binoculars.
Two hens walked up without
a peep and turkey walked over to our decoys.
If you use decoys you know
that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't -- with a little more
weight being on the don't side, as in "hung up". As you've seen from the
pictures these two Calley Morris decoys almost always bring the longbeards,
jakes and hens right to them. When the two hens got to the decoys they
hung out with my Calley Morris jake decoy.
At 9:36 a lone hen came
in the area and walked around.
Then the hen hopped up on
a limb in some downed tree limbs from a blow down.
Here is a close up of the
resting hen. It stayed here for over an hour before it moved on.
Noon. One last delicious
breakfast at the farm house. After lunch Fred and I wanted to take some
more pics of our gobblers and they try to get all the blinds, bow cases,
luggage and other gear that we came with back in my truck.
