This is Scott Klettke, a fireman with the Spokane Valley Fire Dept. This is only his second year hunting turkeys, but be managed to call in a very nice tom on opening day of the '05 Washinton season.

Check out the story, it's a good one.

Scott and his friend, Jason Koziol of Moses Lake, were scouting the day before the season in Eastern Washington near the Canadian border. Very near. On the afternoon of that day the only bird they heard was gobbling across the border.

On opening day the moring hunt didn't pan out so they returned to the area in the late afternoon and took up a position within view of the border fence. In the late afternoon the gobbler began responding to the sound of the long box call. Within a short time Scot had three irritated hens coming across the border followed by the strutting tom. The old boy broke strut to go under the fence, puffed back up and went beak to beak with the jake decoy. Ooooh. Bad move.

Congratulations, Scott and Jason.
