First Morning Turkey Hunt
 

Today was my first chance to go out turkey hunting in the morning. I have been out 4 evenings and have been seeing birds but no cigar. This morning I had 3 gobblers 500 yards away messing around trying to get across the river. At about 7:30 two hens showed up and I decided to get ready so I folded up my chair and gave a few putts and purrs.The hens picked about and I didnt think anything of it until one of them came out and I saw it had a 6 inch beard! It walked past my blind which allowed me to nock an arrow then it walked back and was looking at me the whole time so I leaned out of view drew back at the hardest angle I could think of then leaned out got her in my sights and WOMP! down she went. The Gobbler Guillotines have earned their place in my hunting blind!
