Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default MY DOUBLE!!! with a 99.3125 BIRD!!!!!!!!!

WOW What an awesome morning!!! I got out to my honey hole this morning and started out with an owl hoot. I heard 7 gobbles that were close so I proceded to them. I got situated off the edge of a big creek with birds all around me. I hooted again and heard plenty of birds. I was so excited as the sun rose and some hens flew down right in front of me beside my decoys. I waited a few minutes and they wandered off to my left and I did a couple yelps with a soft purr and all I heard was wings flapping and gobbling like crazy when two BIG gobblers landed within 10 ft of my decoy. As the gobblers strutted around and gobbled for a few minutes I got in position and when the time was right I shot and took them both. These were two HUGE gobblers. They both had horse tail looking beards dragging the ground and they were beautifull. The biggest bird scored and awesome 99.3125!!!!! He weighed 22lbs and 11oz and had spurs that were 1.5" and 1.6875" and he had 3 beards!! They were 4 1/4 and 6 1/2 and 11 5/8. The other bird had a 10 inch beard and was 20 lb and had good spurs on him too! Wow what a freakin awesome mornin!! GO TEAM 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When did Ostrich season open up? You're poaching! Thats a freakin' mule of turkey.... 1.5 and 1 5/8 spurs.... some hunters turkey hunt for decades and never get a set like that. Congrats on a heck of nice bird!

So I gotta ask... did you true double 'em or scotch double 'em? Ain't no right or wrong way, I've never shot two at once before.
