the next best thing to hunting is
talking about it so here we go . it was foggy , you say how foggy , it
was so foggy all you had to do was open your mouth and walk forward to
get a drink of water . any way i got up , got ready but wasn't in a hurry
to get there and was a little late . when i got about 30 yards to where
i wanted to set up the turkeys still hadn't flown down yet. i gave the
old tom a little fly down talk while hitting my hands on my legs .Well
the old gobbler just loved that , as i moved to where i wanted to get he
fly down and just went crazy gobbling. As i got set up i gave him a soft
, low call . well he loved that and he was ah coming right on to me . when
he got too where i could tell what he was he stop and started looking around
trying to find that honey he had heard . As he strutted for all he was
worth he turned his back to me and i gave him a low purr . he came out
of the strut and came on to me . at about 30 yards i shot him and he hit
he ground but he didn't stay there . he came off the ground and flew straight
up and for about 25 yards into some thick cover. i couldn't get another
shot the pine tops were too thick .I heard him when he hit the ground and
started looking for him . when i found him his head and neck was in a mess
he was hit so many times you couldn't count the pellet holes . how this
gobbler done this ill never know cause he was dead where i shot him . one
things for sure since this happened i don't take my eyes off the turkey
or relax till he is in my hands cause that split second could have last
me a nice turkey.
stay safe,,,good luck
