General Forum / Re: Jakes on accident...Last post by mountainhunter1 - May 18, 2024, 11:14:27 PMIt is really easy to shoot a jake by accident in the mountains. I have done it twice over the years and it is a miracle it has not happened more than that. Most hunters in the mtns, especially those who do not use decoys, will set up so that when the bird appears over the peak of the ridge, he is in range.
One of the two, I had seen the Longbeard come off the ridge and wrap me and I knew he was by himself. So, I made one more move and put the peak of the ridge between me and him again and he came up and peaked over and I blew his head off at 18 steps. But it was not the Tom, a jake had sneaked in quietly from somewhere in the five to ten minutes from where I had last seen him circling the previous ridge by himself. The other occasion, was very similar. Took both home on the occasions that it happened and ate them and did not beat myself up about it. #9
General Forum / Re: Turkey meat questionLast post by ddturkeyhunter - May 18, 2024, 11:03:27 PMI have a big Igloo cooler not sure size but could put two or three full turkeys in it. Anyway I freeze ahead of time about fifteen or so one quart orange juice jugs and stand them upright on bottom of cooler. Enough to cover entire floor and that will last me a few weeks at a time. I just breast things out take legs and thighs pull out a few jugs from center and put meat in between and good to go. Never no extra water in cooler and jugs don't melt that fast. The only other thing I do is because it sits on the back end of my truck in the hot sun. Then I have and old white bed comforter I put over cooler to help keep heat from the cooler.
