Big Tom down in Va.!!!!
I harvested my second turkey ever this morning. A 20lb Tom with a 10 inch beard. WWooooo WWeeeee, he's in the oven right now. What a hunt, hit the woods around nine, saw a couple does (I guess you can't tell them apart around this time) and this Ostrich snuck up behind me without even calling once! I didn't really hear him either, just saw movement, we both made eye contact, and that good old RED,WHITE,and BLUE headed pillow came on in letting me get the draw on him!
Here's a bunch of pics, hope you enjoy him as much as I do.

What I ment by "not calling once" was he didn't gobble at all, I was hit'en my box call.
He's got one inch spurs, which by the way almost taught me a lesson about not mess'en with the bird until it Stops kick'en!

All right, one more shot and I'm going to check out everyone else's birds.
Looks like one pellet hit him in the head, and a couple more in the neck and chest area. Once I rolled him he did'nt get back up!
