Week 3

Our turkey hunting days came to an end without a bang. On Saturday, we went out bright and early in Perry. We got out to the blind by 6 AM and started watching for turkeys. Immediately, we saw a turkey across the field. We called it in and it came within 25 yards of our blind. This was a little too far to accurately shoot, and we were pretty sure that it was a hen. So, it got away. The season is over and our last day was the most successful. We actually had the opportunity to see a wild turkey. After the immediate excitement of seeing a turkey, the rest of the time was pretty bland. Our blind was set up next to a tree inhabited by some raccoons, so part of the reason that more turkeys didn't come by might have been the noise. The raccoons were very angry that we were sitting next to their house and were very vocal about their displeasure. We were disappointed not to get a turkey, but we got some good pictures. We will be making a video about hunting and Jake will contribute.
