Well, I planned to hang it up and call it a season. I toted my bow for much of the season. During that time, I had I believe 22 bearded turkeys within 35 yards, But no such luck with the bow. I thought it would be s slam dunk with my gun, but between switching jobs and a little girl, I didn't get out a whole lot with my gun. So anyways, like I mentioned before, today is the last day of the Iowa season and because of some yard work I wanted to get done. I didn't plan to go. Last night however, I heard a bird gobble in the roost behind my house. I got the call out from the deck and he responded to everything I threw at him, so I thought I would give it a shot in the morning. This morning I snuck up the hill to within 60 yards. I had him all worked up in the roost and he came in on a string.
Here are his stats and pic for our captain. 22.0 lbs. Beard was 11'' long. Both spurs were 1.25''. Total score is 69.
