Jacob and the Louisiana Turkey Hunters

Jon and John,

I just wanted to send you a note about my 2006 turkey hunt.

I was able to recruit a couple of new members from down here on the La. gulf coast, and I don't think that there were disappointed. In 2 1/2 days were able to fill all 6 tags. Not to mention the 4 misses.

For the most part we hunted as a threesome, and enjoyed every minute of it. The weather was great, a little windy at times but, clear blue skies and nice temps.

The highlight of the trip was the last morning when we were down to just Brandon's last tag. This was his first turkey hunting trip and he had already taken one by gun, so he wanted to bring his bow along. When the gobbling started early that morning, I thought maybe somehow we had woken up in Texas. We did our best to estimate the number of birds we where hearing. It was a clear, calm and cool morning and we could hear birds all around us. We conservatively estimate that we were hearing about 20 gobblers. After a couple of almost, we managed to get 2 long beards in the decoys at 10 yrds. Brandon did his thing with his bow while Alex had the camera rolling and I just called, watched and smiled. After a lengthy recovery every one was smiling.

I think my partners are now hooked on the mid-west. We are all eagerly awaiting whitetail bow season.

I have included a few pictures from our exciting trip.

Thanks for all that you do,

Sincerely,

Jacob
