This year will be my 2nd year chasing muleys in they High Country of Utah, I learned a lot of things and made some mistakes that I wish I could have back, but enjoyed every second I had out enjoying the outdoors. This early season has kept me busy whether it's training my pup, finding turkeys, shed hunting or just finding ways to make money and be productive.
I have been scouting for turkeys the last couple months and have been looking for a respectable bird I could place my tag on. After the first weekend of trying to harvest my bird, I decided I will go where I knew 4 nice toms were hanging around, the wind was blowing and the rain was coming down, less then ideal conditions for the turkeys at 5:15 pm the wind and rain subsided so I let out a few yelps and purrs and, without a gobble for a warning, I caught motion out of the corner of my eye, and here comes a turkey flying towards my decoys. It lands 10 yards past my decoys and the two other toms came down behind him but landed off to the side and behind some tree branches. The first tom in the decoys was the one I have been wanting to harvest so at about 25 to 30 yards, I sent the lead his way and killed my first tom, and my second turkey.
