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 2nd bird of the year even bigger!!!

My dad had to work today and I was'nt going to miss a oppurtunity to hunt so I got up early this morning and walked a mile and a half to a spot I have to hunt...I get out their and right off the bat hear one a long ways away but hes to far...so I set and listen for a hour and get tired of it and walk towards the house I get to a fence and ecide why not so I wale on the crow call and I hear a faint gobble,so i get in a clearing and do it again...this time I cna tell he's close...so I set up and I guess I over called caus eI walked out in the field and saw two BIG!!Strutter's in the middle so I walk back to the house and give them time to settle down..at 12:30 I head back again I walk into the field dont see em' so I set up my decoy's and call nothen 5 minutes later I call and they rattle the timber both gobbler's so I wait and I am about ready to call again when I hear em spit & drum so I think oh crap I was expecten to come to my decoys but they wnt to my left I'm a right handed shooter so its ok I swing the gun around click the safety off and they hear it so I pick they first one(not knwoing which is bigger)and shoot he hits the ground the other one is just right their not runnen but I thought to myself not a goodshot just wait either he'll run or give you a shot so he run's(fine with me so I wnt got my bird got home cleaned him etc...

What really awsome is this is my first bird that I called in by myself and first bird I shot while I was bymyself it was awsome.. I'm glad i let the other bird go this bird was hard to carry a mile and a half!
After carring him aways I stopped and took some pictures thank the lord for the timed camera shot..notice how red my face is!






inch spurs each leg..10.5 inch beard 20 pounds..felt like 150 by the time I got home
