The Magnificent 7
Took 3 days off to Deer hunt my last being yesterday. It was awful warm and the wind could blow the feathers off a Turkey and leave him standing naked if not in a valley sheilded from it. Saw one Deer all day but the Turkeys did not seem to mind the weather. At 9:30 I saw 7 longbeards coming toward my Deer stand and I was wishing it was december the 3rd. here in Indiana for the second phase of our Turkey season. I would have shot any one of them but 2 were exceptional birds,22 lbs. or more and beards dragging the ground.I had hoped to get some pics but when I raised my cell phone to get ready one spotted the movement and game over. They moved slowly in the other direction,the eyesight of these birds is excellent for sure. I hope to get back out there with all my Deer desires fullfilled and hunt these big ole Toms to close out 2011,wish me luck ya'll.
