I have a friend out from Virginia and I've been trying to get him a bear over in Idaho. We were out yesterday and picking some morels, filling bait barrels and just enjoying the day after the rain had passed through. I heard a bird off in the distance that I had heard several times over the past week and a half. So I threw on my leafy wear and headed up and around to get on the same level. Bird was very vocal double and triple gobbling every time I called. He did not want to leave his ridge top, so I circled around and got on the same level. Called him in and got to watch a fantastic display, lots of fanning, spitting and gobbling at 35 to 40 yards. Then he moved a little to my right and gobbled and strutted into 25 or so yards. Boom, nice bird down, 9 inch beard, about 19, maybe 20 pounds, 3/4 inch spurs. Beautiful spot and fantastic hunt. This was my first time hunting turkeys this year.

I was sitting at the big stump down in the red tres, photo taken from where the bird was at when I shot, What a beautiful location!

It's sure fun when you get a good show before the shot. Nice tom.

Nice Fred, must have been so tough dragging that bird out that you have to take week off from work.

Turkeys seem to have woke up with the sunny weather. Turkey and morels my favorite!

Bait barrels, mushrooms, and turkey. That is efficiency at its finest.
