Title: Plane ride, car camping and a gobbler kill........
Post by: ybuck on May 04, 2025, 02:03:00 PM
Got a landowner contact through a freind....Loaded up my commuter car, and drove 3.5 hours . Met the landowner(we hit it off), chatted for an hour or more. Seen he had a Cessna 150 plane.... Offered me a ride, and i was all in...what a blast!
      slept in the car over night rite where at my starting point for the morning.
There was 4 or maybe 5 gobblers with hens South, and 2 gobblers to my North.
I went North for a better set up area. Set the blind, a couple hours later the 2 Toms came in to my soft box calling.. They were not real thrilled to see "scratchy" my DSD jake decoy...My first shot was "marginal", hit him a second time straight away at about 40 yards rite on the button...
I used a 48# LiftX, Hammerheads, H.S. box call..very, very thankful.....thanks for looking.

Congrats on a Great bird.  I have a friend's wife that LOVES to shop, and he is always telling me she shows him her receipts and BRAGS about how much money she saved.  But what he says is, she always has to spend $300 to $400 dollars to save $50 to $75.  So he says, " I wish she wouldn't save me so much money!"
