I have always said , "If you kill one turkey you found a dumb bird, if you kill two birds you are lucky but if you kill more than three birds you know what you are doing," Jason Z from Fargo, ND has turkey hunting down to a science. Below is his story, Great Job! - Jason  After setting up blind in the morning-I found the turkeys to be about a half mile from their usual roosting area in the Fall. I got permission from the landowner and set up a blind and decoys at noon on the fly down/strutting grounds that all 16 gobblers and jakes were on in the morning. My wife, Kerry, and I returned to the blind about 4:30 for an evening sit. I started to cluck, purr,and kee-kee a bit and 6 different gobblers came in to the Woodhaven call. They hung at about 100 yards and gobbled their heads off! Finally, after some insistant calling-the lead gobbler broke away and came running to the decoys. He would stop every 10 yards or so and strut-then take off again. He came to 20 yards and started strutting in front of a hen decoy. I drew back my 82nd Airbourne and put my 20 yard pin on his wing butt. The 1 3/4" Grim Reaper did it's job and the gobbler was laying on his back within 15 yards. It was all over so fast once he came to the decoys! Talk about adrenaline rushing after the shot! He has a 8 1/2" beard and weighed 22 lbs. A great bird for this area of ND and my 27th turkey with a bow.
