Man, the turkeys are going crazy on the east side.
Normally I hunt with a bow which makes it tough. This year I traded an old bow for a shotgun.
It has paid off. I'm out of tags.
I got one with a 10 1/4 inch beard and went 21 lbs with 1 inch spurs.

It went awesome.
I went to locate some birds one morning.
It was crazy. They were gobbling every time I did a few yelps. I snuck in on one that seemed like he sounded nice. I set up B-mobile and started calling.
That sucker came in to 55 yards and struted up and down a small ridge for 45 minutes. I hadn't patterned that gun as much as I would have like, so I thought it was too far. He was really nice!!!
I stopped calling and let him go back to where the hens where. Once out of sight, I moved in to where he had been struting and setup B-mobile again. He got quite for a while, and I thought I may have spooked him while moving. Next thing I know, I see a big red head sneaking just over the ridge at about 55 or 60 yards. It looked easy but I wasn't confident inthe pattern. I again watched him for about 15 minutes while he struted for the ladies at about 75 yards or so. I am on my feet with a bunch of brush between us so I start sneaking in. I got to about 50 yards of him and sat down. I can still see him, but just too mcuh brush. I start calling and I got the hens down over the ridge really excite. Next thing I know the hens come up and start feeding with 5 to 7 yards of me. Right behind them, here he comes. I didn't take any chances. As soon as his head went up the first time, I let him have it.
It was awesome. Except for about 15 minutes, the answer every call I made!
