Dave Berry’s Super Jake
Derby City Pro Staffer, Dave Berry, tagged this super jake during Kentucky’s 2011 spring season. Dave and DC Pro Staffer, Scott Cronin, set up in a field and had two jakes come in as soon as the birds flew off the roost. This jake gobbled and put on a show until Dave dropped him at 50 yards.
This was a special hunt for me. Scott invited me, Dave, and my father to his Grayson County farm for a weekend hunt. I have tried to get my father to hunt for almost 35 years now. He recently started helping us make turkey calls and this peaked his interest. At 64 years old, dad finally went turkey hunting. It was a tough year to say the least, but he enjoyed it. Who knows, I may get him in the deer woods this year also.
Congrats Dave, on a SUPER JAKE.
Story from the March’s Call Winner
I got a email yesterday from March’s call giveaway winner. He had stated that he had received the call, and that it was just what he wanted. Zach had wanted his call engraved with his friend Bryce Russell that had passed away and went on to meet the lord. Bryce was the one that had gotten Zach into turkey hunting. Here is the rest of the story in Zach’s words.
I just wanted to let you know that I received the package in the mail yesterday and LOVE the call. It is exactly what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier. I played it some in the morning and loved the sound of it, and I had already been planning on going out with my bow that afternoon. Well I am normally the guy that I completely loaded down with calls up the wazzu, but yesterday I decided I wanted to go light and I decided to only bring my new call with me. This is a big deal for me since I usually carry a box, 4 slates, 8 strikers, locators, and 7 mouth calls. Well I had my bow with me and since I was traveling light I decided to stalk the turkeys rather than sit in a blind.
I got out to the woods at 3:45 PM and I knew where they hung out at that time of day. I stalked into the area and hit the slate every few steps trying to locate them but didn’t get any response. I ended up walking up on a strutter at 20 yards across the dried up creek bed. I had to get set-up fast and the only place I could while still having a shot was a three foot deep cut-out that used to be a cow path, on the bank of the creek. Well I hit my Derby City slate call one more time and that was it, they came in on a string and I nailed the biggest of the 6 toms with my bow at 14 yards. I knew you wanted me to send some pictures of me with the call when I got it. Hope you don’t mind if there is a turkey in the picture too haha. Fell free to use any of the pictures for anything you want and thank you again for this opportunity. I know Bryce was watching over me on this one.
