Congrats on a great bird! I wonder if someone makes a kevlar turkey vest/face mask. I' m getting ready for our season opener and keep hearing about all of these accidents. Personally, I' ve been " rained on" twice last season by pellets from phesant hunters while sitting in my tree stand watching deer trails. It wasn' t for lack of orange, I just think that all sense goes out the window when some people see or think they see game.

Congratulations! Sorry to hear about getting shot. I just can' t believe how some people will shoot at anything. Even with the camo you gotta know what a turkey look like!

Well here it is, the final score, " 84.12" . I just got back from the taxidermist now. I decided to have it mounted sitting on a branch with it gobbling, that way the tail is still spread out and those spurs really stand out. I think it will look pretty cool.

I still cant get the hunt out of my mind, couldnt ask for a better one.

Good luck to everyone else this spring !!!!!!!!!!
