Annie Oakley Day Invite 2010

Derby City Pro Staffer, Scott Crume, had a successful hunt last weekend.  Scott is a diehard bowhunter.  Even though it was shotgun season for turkey, Scott had his bow in hand and decided to test his new Magnum turkey call from Derby City.  This is an account of Scott’s hunt in his own words-

“It was Sunday evening in Spencer County.  I was hunting a roost that an estimated  40 birds were using.  About 30-45 minutes before dark, hens began flying up to roost about 75-100 yards downhill from me.  I made some calls and it wasn’t long before 2 gobblers closed to within 20 yards of me.  I drew back on them without being seen, but I shot between the first gobbler’s feet (My bow limb hit my treestand when I was releasing my shot).  That bird flew off down the ridge.  There was enough commotion going on with all the turkeys around me that the second gobbler hung around.  I made the next shot count at 24 yards.  The tom only made it 40 yards before piling up.  He had a 9 inch beard, 1 inch spurs, and weighed approximately 20 pounds.”

Derby City is excited to see how well our calls are working.  These calls make exceptionally soft putts, purrs, and clucks.  These calls resulted in the death of three birds last weekend between Scott, Jimmy and Brent. 

Hey Scott, don’t worry about the miss.  The boys at the shop will be teasing  you a little, trust me.  All I can say is, ”Scott and Jimmy be eating Turkey”  At least you did not get a big bruise for your missed shot.

Congrats to you, Scott.  We are glad you choose to use Derby City Calls.  It is great to have you as a Pro Staffer.
