Title: 3/4 mile, 1 1/2 hour silent stalk
Post by: pens fan on April 19, 2013, 08:48:32 PM

Heard this guy gobbling on the other hill,so i stalked him. I was sure he was a jake, since he was gobbling every three minutes and he seemed to be a loner.
I finally got a bit ahead of him, then he dropped off the bank onto the lane (about eight yards behind me) I was following him on. The surprised look in his eye when he saw me was precious. He tried to gobble, but the 1-7/8 load of four shot choked him up some.
One inch spurs, eight inch beard trimmed a little short by said shot. Not sure what he weighed, but he was heavier than most birds ive shot.

Sweet.  I'd be hunting right now, but I guess the fiancé would be pissed if I paid for a turkey trip instead of our Hawaii wedding next week.
