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 NY opening day bird.........

Here's a pic of my opening day NY bird. I was hunting with a good buddy of mine and we heard several sound off early in the morning. It wasn't too longbefore seeing this one sneaking in with three hens in tow. As you can imagine, I was quite tickled with this guy seeing that!! TOK was 6:40am, distance was approx. 30 yards. He weighed in at 19.6 lbs, had a 8" beard and 7/8" spurs. Had to work the last few days and want to get back out there for #2 ASAP.
