Really Dean? With the way you been shootin maybe you should borrow an 8 bore....

A head shot on a turkey is the next thing to rifle shooting. I think a 3" .410 loaded with #6 shot in a MOD tube at 25 yds. or less should put his lights out.

Pictures Sunday night.

I have been waiting for Sunday night and it has arrived way west of you now. Hope you had a good hunt and aren't falling asleep before posting some pics.

Cheers

Never took a shot Jack. For whatever reason wherever I was, the turkeys weren't.
Sunday at first light I had two gobblers respond to my calls from over a quarter mile away and I had them coming to me but to come into my field from the field they were in they had to cross a wide fencerow with heavy brush and trees. I had those birds pretty excited but when they got to the fencerow - POW!!
I think Roy and his grandson were set up there.
Andy, one of the guys on my camp took a big jake of about 18 lbs.
I knew I would draw a goose egg one of these seasons - good luck like I've had on turkeys doesn't go on forever.

Here's a couple of pictures as promised.

First is the cutover cornfield below camp where I sit back in the corner. It's the first place I sit. If there is no action here, I move on.

Next is Andy's jake.

Woodcock nest. Hen departed quickly but didn't go far.

That's hunting. Bet you had a good time anyway. What kind of call were you using? ch

Dean,
It looks like that snow didn't stick around for long. That's a beautiful piece of property you’re hunting. Sorry to hear you didn't get a bird but I’m sure you had a great time anyway.
