I finally got the chance to get out and do some turkey hunting. After hearing the stories and seeing the pictures from Robin and Eric’s trip, I couldn’t take it much longer.
Nick Govero was gracious enough to take me to his lease in mid Missouri where we have had success in the past. After sitting for 3 1/2 hours and not hearing or seeing a single bird, we decided to switch locations to get out of the wind. That turned out to be a great move because within 30 minutes of getting set up, a nice mature tom came running to my gobbler decoy, Peckerhead, and put on a show. I got to take my first animal using the new Tempest release and Smooth Stability stabilizer. It’s nice to know at crunch time that you have reliable equipment. That was the most excitement I have had in quite some time.
