| GOOD TURKEY SEASON By Darold Givens Last turkey season our usual group of hunters who lease private land in Red Bluff were zero in the takedown of turkeys. This year is a whole different ballgame. On opening weekend, 7 hunters got 5 birds and I got two of them. They were not of the gigantic size but after last year, I was grateful for even a look at a gobbler, let alone get two on the opening weekend. That same weekend, Mitch Hoppe, Ken Bertelsen and Roger Hatin each got a bird. The next weekend the weather was predicted to be bad over Easter but Rob Willett and I had a great time in the woods and saw lots of birds and even had a chance at a tom but passed it up for a better opportunity. This past week Roger and I heard rain all night and got up to a wet and dreary day but headed out anyway. We set up where he and I had each killed a turkey only to hear them gobble across the way. We did hear one tom close by so waited. We each used our calls but I could not hear any answer but Roger could. Soon a tom walked out in front of me and I had my opportunity at 30yds and took it. Bird # 3. Roger left to seek out the other toms we heard on the other side and I returned to the truck. The birds did not respond and it started to rain so we left. There is still half a season left so I am putting out my guide sign, |
