First Florida Turkey
 
2 Attachment(s)
Got my first gobbler! Had a hen come out at 710. She left at 750. 755, 4 Jakes come out. 800, 6 more Jakes came out. 810 2 hens came. The Jakes started to chase the hens and strut a little. Hens were over it and flew up into the oaks. 830 I Heard a lone gobble. He wasn't far maybe 100 yards max. I knew he was going to come sooner or later. About 845 some of the Jakes started acting a little weird and going in a half strut pose. 850 the gobbler sneaks thru the palmettos and in full strut. Once he come in he started running the Jakes and establish dominance. Needless to say I got him where I wanted and put him down. I was able to record the hunt so when I get it all edited up and flowing like I want I'll post. 9 inch beard. One spur was broken off. The other was a little over an inch.

Congrats on your Florida bird! Sounds like a nice hunt to me and can hardly wait to see your video...

Video is crappy. The resolution is horrible. I just got the camera and still figuring out the settings. I think I fixed it. We'll see.
