This ole boy came out across the field from us and had his sights set on a hen that had come out to our left at about 50 yards. The hen wasn' t paying to much attention to this gobbler who was really strutting his stuff. My partner left loose with a yelp to see if the gobbler would forget about the hen and come our way. Much to my surprise---he kept one eye on the hen and eased closer to us. When he got within 45 yards, I greeted him with some Winchester HV #4' s from my Mossburg 835 with a Hastings choke. It was lights out. Shot him at 5:50 AM. It was a wonderful morning
