AzuluSpookd Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Was able to get out with two buddies in Tay township for a sunday gun hunt (only township around that's allowed). The other two set up at the bottom of the field and I set up on the top end, about 300 yards away from them. They had 4 birds walk directly behind them, totally ignored their decoys and they didn't even see them until it was too late. I saw the birds and they just started walking my way. It felt like an eternity, but leaning against the tree, I watched them about about 20 yards away...two hens...a jake...and a TOM! YEE HAW....slowly lifted the REM and bang. Nice bird.......with a really big fan. Done for the year, might go out a couple of times to call and video tape for some guys...time to get my boat ready!

misfish Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 It is possible to have a hen (female)with a beard,which is legal to shoot.You can not take a hen in the spring(without abeard),but can in the fall hunt.Then theres the jake,a yound male ,which you can shoot.The big tom is the prize hunt.

NAW Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Was able to get out with two buddies in Tay township for a sunday gun hunt (only township around that's allowed).
