Turkey #2 was a really fast hunt. I saw a big gobbler in a field by himself around 10:30 opening morning, and I thought that I could get in front of him. When I got close I could hear him gobbling in the tree line across the field. I gave him a few yelps and some cuts and he answerd me every time. I was standing in a cedar tree and I saw him enter the field coming straight towards me. I eased back in the woods and set up my decoy and got ready. Within minutes he was on top of me. He came on the opposite side that I wanted him to, so when he stepped behind some cover I switched hands and was able to get on him. He gobbled and strutted for a little bit and then it was lights out for him. The whole hunt probably lasted five minutes. He was a doubled bearded Rio 1st beard was 8 3/4 2nd beard was 2 1/2 he had 1in spurs and weighed 19lbs.
