My california Rio Grande Turkey

[Hoytstaffshooter83]

I have the luck to have a best freind with a 9000 acre ranch in california, the number of deer and turkeys are crazy... and the birds are vocal and agressive most of the time, in the 4 day hunt I saw over 300 birds, we called in 17 toms and killed 3... I shot this 24lb 10in beard tom at 50yrds..... my buddy is a great caller and called many in to under 15 yrds but this guy held up and I couldnt take it and said 50yrds will work and that was that.... the muzzy mx4 hit him where it counts and down he went........... good times.......

Thank you, the birds down there are gorgeoues... that pic was taken right after I shot him, the hill behind in the pic was where he and 5 other toms were.....
