i felt the need to share my brothers opening morning story. i didnt do any good so i figured id tell this story instead. my younger brother has never shot a turkey before, him and my dad was sittin in a blind together when a jake poped out. my brother decided he would go ahead and shoot him. he came out to 50 yds and hung up. so my brother who is using a 12 GA modified w/ 28" barrel shoots him. the bird flops up in the air and then appeard to hit the ground dead. they got out of their blind to go get him and after layin there lifeless for a goos 30 seconds he jumps up and crosses the neighbors fence. my brother is still sick from that but i told him that alot of guys would have a hard time makin that shot with a full choke & 32" barrel...so i was impressed he even hit him. the best turkey hunters make the most mistakes. because at a certain time they learn from them.
