Hey everyone! Just recently went on a hunt in Eastern PA for the opening of Pennsylvania's Youth hunt. Made the 5 hour drive friday after getting picked up from school early. Made it to my good friend Adam Spittler place at about 6. Got all our hunting stuff together and were going to go roost a few birds and set out our Ameristep blinds. We put the one Ameristep Intimidator at the edge of a field where he recently saw a flock of 100+ turkeys and we put another Ameristep Intimidator at another location about 400 yards away. We made it back to the house and went and got a bite to eat and were excited about the next mornings hunt. I was taking my Hoyt and my 12 gauge just in case they didnt copperate for the bow. We got in the blind at 5 and but the decoy out. We heard the first gobble at 5 till 6 and heard 2 more gobbles between then and 8. We working the first bird for quite a while but he just didnt copperate and he got henned up. at around 8:30 we had a hen come to the call and charged across the field right to the decoy but through the whole hunt couldnt get a bird to commit, but the hunt was a blast and we all had a great time. We will have plenty of time to get a PA longbeard in the ground this season. Our regular season starts May 1st and ends May 31st.
