I am bringing this back up as after a dozen years as one of my bucket list items is about to come true.
It has taken years to draw Gould’s Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo mexicana).
After getting the 8 gauge approved in AZ for hunting. I just could not draw a Goulds turkey tag despite putting in every year.
Well this week I received notice that I had drawn tag No. 1 for the Chiricahua mountain range.
I have taken a Merriam's in New Mexico as well as a Osceola in Florida with my 8 gauges, but my ultimate goal was to take a Goulds Gobbler with an 8 gauge in AZ.
I sold my Parker 8 gauge but still own my WC Scott hammer gun.
The plan this coming May is to dedicate what ever time is needed to have my brother help me call and film my hunt. While using my 8 gauge. Im pretty excited.
