Default RE: Most Unusual shot made.

On one hunt here in Ontario , I was working an area that has a few other hunters playing with birds. I called and got anwser so I quickly setup. As i worked the bird the gobbler moved across and came up behind the roots of a up rooted tree about 30-35 yds out. I could see the Fan with no problem moving back and forth and he would stop and sit still for a munite or two, but he would not stick up his head. After waiting out for a shot on this hidden Gobbler for some time ,I noticed a small 2-2 1/2 in hole in the Middle area of the roots. The gobbler would walk back and forth Gobble and stop and look through the hole, with my scope on 3 power I could see the Blue on the face and the eye. He woulf then go into strut and gobble and come back to the hole. The third time he did it again , I decided to give him a bigger hole to look through BANG! , the dirt flew, dust swirled , but no Gobbler. I got up and walked over to the root and there lay behind it with a wide open fanned Gobbler with a Black Eye , its funny how a tight shooting gun can work in the hunters favor ...BT
