2012 Killin thread

Postby SNEAKER » Fri Mar 16, 2012 9:58 am

Chopper and I went in on a group of birds i've been scouting out. we got in there early and there were about 7 birds gobbling (a couple were jakes). Had 3 jakes pitch in front of us and one blew up into strut. A little later it started raining turkeys. They were pitching all around us. We had 2 gobblers at 30 yards but they weren't the big strutters. The strutters were about 75 yards out in front of us heading our way, so we passed the smaller longbeards. We had a wad of hens about 20 yards from us when the 2 strutters got to 35 yards. I called with my mouth call, and they both hammered. Raised their heads and we popped em

This guy was on fire! He gobbled over 30 times on the roost, and another 20+ on the ground, including 6 times inside 25 yards (gotta love that). The look on his face when he realized he'd screwed up is one I can never get tired of..

11" beard. 1"spurs. 20# on the nose.
