Joey and I had a great opening day with a double. These birds flew into our lap right off the roost. It didn't take long before it was right for a double. Have you ever had one of those hunts that worked out just like you had imagined it in your dreams the night before the hunt? This one did. We had planned to count to 3 and shoot at the same time. Worked like a charm.

We are always getting different colors in our tailfans. Most of the tail coverts and tips of the back feathers are pretty much Rio's.

Funny thing is Joey put a decoy out 10 yards from the roosted Jake. We had no idea that turkey was roosted there until it got a little lighter when we could see. Just goes to show you that if you get in early enough and are fairly quiet you can almost do anything.

Nice ,,Congrats to you both ,,Thats cool you got it all on video

So, both birds are Rios. Just different color phases?

Yes they are both rios. The picture makes it look more different than it really is. If you watch the video when we open the fans up you can tell they are both Rios. Even though mine is a little more buff/white than his.
