turkey sucess
great fun, took a shot with my bow @35yds and overshot! up comes the scatter gun and wham! Had another chance the day before with three toms and about 5 jakes walked within 40yds but I was waiting for them to come closer when a hen spooked. Much harder this year since they weren't talking at all. Nice spurs, 9 1/4 beard. All 10 of us got birds including 2 rookies.
One rookie took 2 birds:eek:, luckily one was the decoy I placed in the field next to camp and waited for someone to notice.:evil: I notice him scrambling to load a shotgun and ask him "what's up?" ... "there's a turkey in the field!!"... "B.S" I say.We grab out vid cameras and roll on, he sneaks up, (unfazed by the lack of movement)... boom..., encouragement from camp..."put another one in him" ...Boom... laughter drounds out the shotgun.:biggrin:
I'll link the youtube vid when I post it...

Re: turkey sucess
Great story and prank.
We did that with a breasted out grouse carcass propped against a tree beside a trail. Buddy thought his 243 "cleaned" the grouse and didn't realize we were laughing at him until we explained the joke.

Re: turkey sucess
Congratulations on a very fine mature specimen. In my opinion the Gould’s Turkey is one of the most beautiful colored and marked subspecies.
