Well my cousin and I were out hunting on my uncle's land and we heard gobblers everywhere. we walked in closer, sat down, and gave the calls a wirl. well they would never come off of their roosts, so we tried to get close. they saw us and flew away. it was probably 7:45, at least an hour past sunup and we decided to walk around to see if we can hear anything. anyway hours later, it was getting real hot, we were tired of walking, and were extremely hungry. We had been out there for about 2 and 1/2 hours and covered probably 5 miles of walking. any way we called it quits and were heading back to our ride. My cousin was in the front and I was in the back, dissapointed and tired I was dragging my feet and looking at the ground when suddenly BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I looked up and My cousin was running towards a flopping turkey. The thing was huge the beard was 11 in. and he weighed about 18 lbs. Man that was a fun hunt!!!

Great story!! I'll bet he was pretty happy.

congrats. on a nice bird.

Congrats to you both!

THOSE CRAZY HUNTS are the ones that you'll remember forever!! Congrats to your cousin!
