Had a couple hours after work the other day and with a turkey tag in my pocket figured i better get it filled so i can concentrate on fishing. I was walking along a creek and seen the bird strutting up ahead along the trees about 500 yards ahead. Wearing my old sneakers i walked in the cold creek about 400 yards then climbed the bank and peeked over some bushes and seen him strutting about 100 yards away. Quickly i set up, and pulled out my mouth call gave a few yelps he gobbled and ran straight at me stopping a mere 15 yards away, he then puffed up and strutted right in front of me !! I started shaking my gun still layed on my lap, he finally turned away from me i grabbed my gun shouldered it gave a few more clucks he lifted his head up BOOM. Ended up with one of the best gobblers i have taken so far i was very proud.

wow, big bird!

I bet that birdie is wishin' you went fishin',lol

Bet he is going to taste great!

Now to go hunting for some stuffing, cranberry sauce and a big pan to cook that bird.

Then a good dentist when you crack your tooth on one of the pellets! ;D

Really, congrats on the bird.  You did good.
