04/21/2012 - Avian-X LCD Hen Decoys
I finally had the chance to get out and do a morning of Turkey hunting. I've never done much and really want to get some more experience and get my first Gobbler under my belt. The only way to gain experience is to get out and give it a shot. One of my buddies from high school Derrick Sherwood just returned from his tour with the Air Force in Qatar and he was of course ready to get out and do some hunting.
I got to Goldsboro Friday night and got everything ready for the next morning. We planned to hunt the land around Derrick's house. I have a bunch of new Turkey hunting gear that I will review in up coming posts which include two new Avian-X LCD Turkey hen decoys. These decoys are the most realistic, packable decoys I have ever had the pleasure of using! I'll go into more details on them in a post to come soon!
I woke up around 5am on Saturday morning and got the coffee brewing and had to wake up Derrick who I guess was plotting to sleep the entire morning away..haha....We made it out to our spot in the corner of a field, set up up our small ground blind as there was a drainage ditch that went around the field so there was no easy way to conceal ourselves inside of the hardwoods. With the blind set and the decoys in place we started to do some calling. Derrick was using a slate call and I had a couple of new Quaker Boy diaphragm calls that I had been practicing on.
The fog was heavy and low on Saturday and we did not get any responses from our wild counterparts that we were trying to entice! However it was a great morning out in the woods and gave us some much needed time to work on our calling techniques.
I've attached a couple of photos from the hunt as well as a short video showing our setup. I hope to get out at least one more time before the end of the season.
