Default RE: whats your memorible hunt

miine would be my first bird......it was my 4th year of trying......i hadnt even heard a gobble up close......i'm sitting there with Fl. and she called, then i hear balalalalalla right behind me , i started shaking, she said it was coming in from my right, for me to get ready, i knew it was coming in from my left but i did what she told me and i was ready to shoot the bird coming in on my so called right......then he appeared, to mu left, right next to me ....he gobbled, spit, drummed, everything, i could see he saw me, but we didnt even as much as blinked, i had to let him get away from the blind so i could switch the gun around, he kept going.......he got about 60 yds. away and she called him back to me, i couldnt see him, she told me to take him, it was nerve racking, then he appeared and i dropped him, ran up to him, got spurred because i grabbed his legs forgetting about the spurs, lol.....he was my longest bearded bird to date, longest spurs too....he weighed 17 lbs......got me running up to him on video, the whole hunt was suppose to be on video, but the camera didnt want to work...dew alert.....but it was great....i shook so bad, fell backwards with the bird on my back, she got pics of me going down, lol......it was a classic hunt.....
