My side of the Story
3/23/07 Me, My son, and Chopper "aka Snoop" went to my honey hole in Pelahatchie imissedtheturkey Ms. Arrived at 6:00 and at first light had made our way to the split and waited. After a short wait had three birds gobbling so to a clover/rye field we went set up our hen decoy and waited a few minutes, very soon the culprit was firing off again while Chopper was purring,putting,yelping and farting Once the bird hit the ground it was maybe 20 minutes until he showed his head and my heart was off to the races, the tom cautiously scanned the field and gobbled three more times then proceeded carelessly to what was supposed to be his final destination. At 7:20 am Mr gobbler stopped 25 yards out and chopper did as planned try to cut at the tom for one last gobble for the video camera... well needless to say the cut did not work out and the bird went from 0-22 miles per hour somewhat like Carl Lewis in a track meet. My delay had bit me in the booty so before the bird took flight and Chopper as well I took a desperation shot only to knock some pretty feathers out and watch my first gobbler fly away and no he did not fly away to turkey heaven. We searched the woods for roughly thirty minutes with NO luck Tears are hitting my keyboard so I better quit now but I am sure for those who know Dumbum you have are will here all about my mishap aka poorshooting
If some animals are good at hunting and others are suitable for hunting, then the Gods must clearly smile on hunting.
