Well i was off of school yesterday so i decided to turkey hunt all day. Well the morning ended up being pretty bad. I got into my spot and all the gobblers were about 500 yards off down behind me off the property. Then i busted up a nice bird on the way out. I went back out at 5 that afternoon more to roost a bird than anything but i took the gun with me anyway. At 6 a dog started barking and everytime it would bark two turkey would gobble their heads off. So i ran down to where i could get close and set up. In the course of 10 minutes they probably gobbled 30 times. I gave a few soft yelps and here they came. They would run into the field to my right and go in about 5 ft and run back in but finally they both came out. They got right into my shooting lane and both went into strut and started drumming and when i moved my gun the smaller of the two(the only one i had a clear shot at) saw me so before he ruined everything i shot him. The shot distance was 3 yards.... easily the closest i have ever been to a live turkey.
Just shy of an 11" beard
26mm spurs
somehow he only weighed in at 15#
? no clue as to why he is so darn light.
I was not in that blind either when i killed him. i had heard them behind me when i was in the blind and went down to get em and on the way back i stopped to get my blind and took the picture
