Default Bird Down

Took a double this morning in upper Mich.
I called them in at twelve yards. Two real nice toms. I was lead and kept asking my buddy if he was on his. With all the strutting and decoy smashing it was hard to get the shot.
But they turn and we both fired.
Well I missed mine with a xbow. Trying to lopp the head off.
But my buddy dropped his with Da Judge, a patterned 410 revolver.
My bird ran around after the shot came right up snd I grabbed Da Judge ftom my buddies hand and shot my bird at 9 yards. It was pandemonium for a bit.

He is a 3 yr old had a good breeding callous but was a light wt.
1 and 3/8 spurs both sides.
8 inch beard. AND only 16 lbs 8 oz.

Buddies bird was 20 plus pounds.

But being able to whack a bird up close with a .410'pistol is a rush!

I started turkey hunting because of this guy 32 yrs ago.

Pictures to follow.
