Hunting Memories

A Jake for a Junior

This is my first turkey hunt. Some friends took my dad and me (right) to Penn Valley, California. We set up in an area that looked like a good calling spot and heard gobbling coming off the ridge. A few minutes later, two jakes came through the trees and stopped 15 yards in front of us. My shot resulted in a 16-pound jake!!!

To hear them gobble that close made my first turkey hunt very exciting. I can't wait till next year.
