First one of the season
This was a great bird to stalk, and a pain in the ass. Usually, my first bird is not a albino, but I had the opportunity to take one of the Toms out before he starts passing on his recessive gene. Anyways, 30 yard shot using my Trykon XL with Gold tip Hunter Pro tipped with ABC Sonics. The turk weighed only 21 lbs., but had 1 inch spurs and a 9 and 1/2 inch beard. It made a great dinner, spiced nicely with my homemade cajun spices.
