Team #8 - My Contribution!
 

Well folks I shot my first RIO Grande wild turkey thanks to Wade Free. Was a run 'N gun situation! Had three good ones come in and I had trouble seeing birds and was a tough shot through thick cedars......at less than 30 paces.....but that new scope......shot true......and when the small window of opportunity was there....bird dropped like a rock!

Tomorrow get to do this all ove again! And I saw some Danides bigger than this!

Well..........

Went out the next morning......found three toms roosted while hootin'

Had a fenceline set-up.......worked them and of course they went to the hens......but....when a bird answers me...I tell myself he is mine.......so I waited and did not make another call or move..........saw them on a hillside a section away a hour and half later......some cuttin'....soem waht I call racket calling..........and then I missed the dang shot at the biggest less than 30 away!


Say it with me....K.Y.H.D.D



KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN DUMMY!!!

Means keep your stupid head on the stock. After I thought about it....exactly what I did as I was suing my non-scoped gun! Shoot.

Oh well........Work a week and at it again ..this time Easterns.
