Just my  but there is no sport using a long rifle on turkeys.

Whats the sport in using a scatter gun
Lol its all good shot placement, an accuracy, an comfortable in taking an making a good shot, go ahead an hate, I'm glad my first bird is a nice one.

[PA BEN]

I never said hate and you should have never gone there. I said sport. Is that the best way to stop a conversation on this thread that you feel is a jab at you? I gave my opinion on the sport of turkey hunting and BTW, everyone has there opinion on that subject. I guess it's ok to shoot them out of a roosting tree as long as you have good shot placement. And with a shotgun you have to shoot them in the head or you wound them and they run off and die. Calling in a tom and shooting him at 9 feet w/a shotgun takes good shot placement. Your pattern is so tight you could miss.

My 12 y/o Son got this one just this morning.  We have been hunting really hard, I bet the little guy has 15 days in this year.  We had several toms with a flock of about 8 hens just above us on a ridge, (we roosted them last night).  Someone came in below us and was hammering a box call pretty hard, the big tom in the group was hanging back and gobbling his fool head off.  We followed them about a 1/2 mile up the ridge and finally were able to contour around and get really close.  Every time the person below us called, the hens would run another 50 yards up the hill, dragging the toms with them.  I've given this flock every call I have over the last month and played it quiet today.

This fellow wandered right into our lap while the main flock was about 65 yards away still.  He took it at 40 yards.  It has a righteous beard, but nubbin spurs and weighed 17#.   



I took this jake a week ago.  I don't generally shoot jakes, but I got this one on the 22nd day of hunting and was looking at tag soup. 



We still have a couple tags left to fill in the family, I take my other Son out again tomorrow.
