OPENING DAY BOSS GOBBLER! | BWB 21.3
The excitement was palpable as Michael and Mike Lee geared up for the opening day of turkey season in Georgia, a key part of their annual turkey hunting season preparation. With the sun just beginning to cast a warm glow on the horizon, they knew they had to make the most of the day ahead. “What’s up y’all, Michael Lee here, ready to kick off spring turkey season!” he announced, his trusted shotgun at the ready. “I’m going to shoot a couple of rounds just to make sure it’s good to go.” This initial step is a crucial part of their wild turkey hunting strategies, ensuring their gear is in perfect working order.
With their target set up about 25 yards away, Michael took aim with his trusty 12-gauge shotgun. The confidence in his stance was evident. “I’m shooting a Jebs load here—some rogue ammo, seven and nine blinds in three-inch shells,” he explained as he prepared to fire. The anticipation built as he pulled the trigger, and the sharp crack echoed through the quiet woods. “That’s a dead turkey at 25 yards!” he exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across his face as he inspected the impressive pattern on the target. “If you aim at the wattles, it’s game over.”
Feeling confident, Michael backed up to 50 yards for another shot, a true test of his marksmanship. “The wind’s pretty tough to hold in right now,” he noted, adjusting his stance to compensate for the gentle breeze. “But we’re going to shoot this thing and then head out turkey hunting.” With a steady hand, he fired again, and the result was just as satisfying. “That’s a dead turkey, no doubt!” he declared, his voice filled with the assurance of a seasoned hunter, feeling more than ready for the hunt ahead.

As they made their way through the dense woods, the earthy scent of pine filling the air, Michael and Mike discussed their plans for the day. “We’ve got some chores to do around our hunting land,” Michael said, explaining that they needed to keep the deer happy while preparing for turkey season. “We have to make sure they’re healthy for the fall.” They worked together seamlessly, setting up feeders and clearing paths, all while keeping a keen eye out for any signs of turkey activity.
“I hope to help us link up with some gobblers,” Michael said as they set up a spy point camera on a nearby pine tree, a smart addition to their wild turkey hunting strategies. “This will help us keep inventory and understand their patterns.” The camaraderie between the two was evident as they shared laughs and stories while working hard to prepare for the hunt, the bond between them as strong as ever.
