RE: Wild and Wacky stories
It was two years ago, last weekend of the spring turkey season. I had 3 big gobblers staring at my decoy hangin up at about 100 yards. They wouldn’t respond to nothing! Just stood there laughing at me and my decoy while I was getting eatin’ alive by the darn mosquito’s. I was set back in the woods about 10 yards and the decoy and the tom’s were in the field. They slowly moved off across the hedgerow into the adjacent field. As soon as they disappeared I took off running along the joining woods and snuck my way through the perpendicular hedge row to the one the turkeys were headed through. I couldn’t of timed it better. Just as they were breaking out into the 2’ tall grass field I was popping through at the corner waiting for them. They were in a slight depression so I was able to crawl within 40 yards of them, as I popped up I seen two of them and picked one out quickly before they spotted me and BANG! The other one flew off and as I approach to collect my trophy what do I find but two dead 22lbs Tom’s both with 10inch beards flopping on the ground. I was extatic! The other bird was lined up directly behind the other and I didn’t even see him.
