Default RE: what a beautiful thing

Ma,I' ll never forget it!!I was about 17 years old or so and managed to roost a big ole gobbler the night before!What was awesome was this ole gobbler chose to roost in a old dead digger pine that was bare as could be,not one needle on it!He was on a big ole limb that hung out over a creek bottom and a small clearing and I was able to set-up on him to where when the lightening of the day approached he was sillouted against the sky and I was able to watch him display and gobble on that limb till he finally pitched out!What even cooler was he landed right in that clearing of which I was set-up just a little below and as he popped over a little rise he was only about 10 yards from me and let out a booming gobble right in my face!!The steam actually burst out of his mouth when he gobbled as the load of # 4' s entered it!!
