I shot my 1st of 2 allowed NH turkey today. Rained about 3 inches over night so my bird rolled around in a lot of water for his last bath. Shot with my NH 10 ga at 20 yds with 1 1/2 oz 6s. 20 lbs, 1 1/16 spurs and 9 in. beard ,Not a pretty bird:)

nice bird...yes that flopping in water don t make them pretty....them ole 10 s are the best....charlie

There are many ways to define "pretty," and that looks like an awfully pretty gun and (very dead) bird.:bowdown:

That bad boy clearly was just thinking he was Esther Williams! ::rolleyes:

I have had some memorable hunts this season, but no birds to show for it.

So you shot a "pre-washed bird"? Nice going Scott. Now do your second bird with a 20.:)

Hunted all morning in a very cold rain and wind with my son, trying to get his first bird. Had birds all around us, but no gobbling and no response to my calling. There were 4 jakes and 3 longbeards within 200 yds of us, but couldnt pull them in. A coyote running thru the field didnt spook them off either.

Scott,
That was the one I was after!
Nice work though.
