Congrats ...

I was on the hill about 40 minutes when I got my two birds ... had planned on a tom in Roosevelt unit, but found the wife was really sick when I called to tell her about the birds ... headed home instead.

I got drawn and 5 minutes into shooting light, a flock flew right in front of me and it was over too fast! have had lots of experience with turkeys since then.
