Title: Iowa Season 2
Post by: oakraidia on April 12, 2019, 05:09:14 PM

After looking at the forecasted high of 43° and gusts of 45 I wasn't too sure if I'd be going out for opening day of season 2, but I decided to put my bibs on and deal with it. And I'm glad I did. I heard a few gobbles right at sunrise, but nothing sounded to be on the property I have permission for. Since I was setup right where I had scouted turkeys I decided to wait it out. About 9 am I thought I heard a gobble, but wasn't too sure so I made a few cuts. Right away I heard a gobble that sounded a ways off, since I knew he heard me I never made another sound and this tom gobbled the whole way to me. 5 minutes later he came into view.
23.88 lbs, 10.5" beard, both spurs were 1 3 /16" (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/713d4f596acc9e3e115bf83b0ac6800a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/a1baa60b666fd1fc7a1a5ffd52059af8.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/b48876d389b2c4e445afbd28680f0bdd.jpg)

Congrats on getting it done a NASTY day. It never got much about 35* and the wind was a constant 25-35mph here.

You did better than me. I heard more than I thought I would but I kicked 2 toms out of trees during mid morning one at 8:30 and the other at 10:30. I called in a couple hens and 1 Jake so it was better than I thought it would be and that wind didn't let up at all. Congrats on your great bird
