Thanks guys..

Actually I am thinking I over shot him. I am using a goose gun and I put the bead right on top of his noggin without thinking it shoot high at close range. ( I was pretty excited about how big it actually was.) This yardage for that gun is fairly close range.. It was design to shoot geese on open water at somewhat longer ranges.

I really do not the general spot except that on the other side of my blind is where I have seen him before. I saw him there 4 times last year and only a few hens and jakes on the side of the hill. Just down below my blind is a corner in the road and a small stream the flows by. The turkeys are normally coming around the corner. That is what I had been expecting. I did not expect him to come out of there.

Also that rock wall acts like a barrier to them as well.

Also this line is hilly and curvey as it runs for 83 miles.. The area I choose is because it has no pressure on them at all right now. The road here is gated for 2 more weeks and then they open it up after grading and all that is complete. The turkeys are on the entire length of it.

We also have a problem of not very much in green grass right now. That alone has changed the hunting on us. We still have a small amount of snow and ice in the woods right now as well.. Just a strange year for us..
