1st Washington Merriams of the season

[CallMaker]

Last Friday I was invited to hunt a spot where I have never hunted turkeys, only deer. The owner said that he had seen some birds around. Set up a few minutes after 2 PM and started calling with the wingbone. Right away I had a couple immature birds show up (a hen and a beardless jake) and start dancing around. Called a couple more times and then shut up. In about 20 minutes this guys shows up, he never made a sound, just appeared.

Congrats Callmaker.  Now those are two things I have never done: taken a bird with a bow and used the wing bone.   Judging by your User Name, is it safe to assume you made the wing bone call?   I have one made by a guy I met a few years back, but Ive never quite got the hang of it.

Taking a turkey with a bow, that's impressive! Good job.
