Default Finally got him!!!!!!!

I posted my troubles with a long beard that I've been after a few days ago and thanks to SwampCollie's help, I put him down yesterday morning. I got set up at the base of the tree that had fallen into the field and at 6:00am he started gobbling back in the tall pines. I gave a few soft purrs just to let him know that company was on the ground. 20 minutes later I heard him fly down and he was close. With 5 minutes I saw him coming and got ready. He was at 7 yards and in full strut as he approached She-Mobile. I gave 2 quick clucks and he came out of strutt and stuck his head up high. Of course at 7 yards, my SX3 put a hurting on him bad. My little girl could have gotten him with our .401 easily. The most important thing that I learnt was to not be afraid to get in close and in his path. That may sould like a given but this is my second season turkey hunting and I still have a lot to learn. I'm going to try and post the pictures.
