Not a Parker...but a nice day in the turkey woods

It’s been a strange year in the Colorado high country. I’ve had this notion that the birds follow the snow melt but this year there was no snow. The birds didn’t show up to my favorite area until this week which in the past 2 years it was around the end of April. It’s dry in the high country and green up just started. Yesterday morning I found turkey sign on the logging road so I used my favorite shock gobble call...my Tacoma’s horn...and two birds immediately gobbled. I set up above them and my bird was on the ground at 5:50 am. I used my Ithaca short 10 and RST 1&1/4 7&1/2s perfect load.
