Why is my mouth so dry this morning, when I drank so much last night?

If some animals are good at hunting and others are suitable for hunting, then the Gods must clearly smile on hunting.

Dammit Boy!! Chopper finally called up a turkey and you gotta miss him. I heard a nasty rumor that this mornings event was filmed. Sounds like some good black mail evidence.

Here is one from opening wknd. Killed about 7:20 at about 25 steps. He strutted and drummed like crazy on his path of death. 1st opening wknd turkey for me in my life. :D 20lbs 9 inch beard and 1 1/8 inch spurs.




This one is from this wknd. He is a two year old that I killed in the afternoon 5:30-6:00. He was with hens and some jakes. I called to him and he strutted for a minute and started towards me. He disappeared under the crest of the ridge I was atop of. I thought he might be coming my way when the hens began feeding that way. In a few minutes I started to hear him drumming and sat up a little straighter and could see that white head and the top of his fan. In a few more minutes he got in easy shotgun range at about 35 steps. 9 3/4 inch beard, 3/4 inch spurs, and 17 lbs.



I started this year out with the motto, "Finish the deal" after missing turkeys once each of the last two years. On the second one, I thought I would hyperventilate before he got to the point I could shoot him and I almost forgot how to aim my freakin gun :shock: There ain't nothing that gets me that shook up.
Both of these were killed with heavy shot #5s and neither flopped around. They were dead quickly. I agree with Jelly...I ain't that good, but the sun will shine on a dog's ax every now and then.
