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 Mother's Day Merriam Down
Morning everyone, I got out this a.m. at daylight and set up to ambush the gobbler my boys and I have been after since April 15th. He came by off the roost 15 minutes after I crawled into my man made blind, 'bout 6 a.m. (my boys help me make it a few days ago) Anyway, I couldnt be happier, 21 lbs, 6.5 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs. Shot him at 15 yards as he was following 1 hen.
