The wife and I were finally able to get out and try for a turkey after work Thurs. evening. We had done a little scouting earlier and had found a flock that had 1 tom, 4 jakes and 1/2 dozen hens. We had permission to hunt the small piece of property so we decided to purchase a couple OTC tags. We were set up about 6 and shortly after had several hens enter the field and start feeding. Shortly before 8, I got a response from behind us coming down the ridge. I snuck a peek thru the window out the back of the Primos blind and here come two Jakes bee lining it toward our pretty boy decoy. I told the wife they were both jakes, she said we have never taken a jake before and if she had the chance she would take one. They came to within 25 yards and she popped the largest one and then handed me the 870 and I rolled the 2nd jake at about 35 yards as he was headed out thru the sage brush. All and all a great hunt with the best partner a guy could have.
