Excal M405 Closes out the 2016 Season

Post by Sandman »

Hey everyone,

I've seen a lot of great success stories on here and congrats to all those that have connected this season and there's still lots of hunt left ...

I've only managed to get out a few times this season and after my opening day success with this nice Tom its been a strange hunt;

I have been out about 6 times since with my Excal 405 and most of those days I didn't hear any gobbling near or far.

I've scouted a number of properties that I have permission on and wasn't seeing much. As I drove around I seen plenty of birds and managed to get a lot of great pictures which I will share in another post.

My last outing which was probably going to be my last of the season. I had a number of birds come into the field with 3 jakes who lurked on the outskirts until one of them came right in to 20 yards so I dropped the hammer. Here's a few pics I got of him and my morning;

The Excal M405 with Big Johns bolt dropped him in his tracks ending my 2016 season;

As summer approaches I will start like everyone else scouting and getting ready for the fall opener.
