Last year Turkey Tuesday seem like a hit so I decided we will do it again leading up to the season. Just post any picture(s) turkey hunting related on Tuesday of each week.
It's a few hours early. This was my 5th bird of the season last year and the last of my Mississippi birds. Saw 4 Tom's that morning and kill him walking back to the truck. Normally I won't shoot them like that, but couldn't help myself that day.

This pic is a few years old but I still get a kick out of it, my daughter was just 10 n it was her first bird.

My big Tom from 2016 season, I call him The King because others Toms would be gobbling on the roost but as soon as he let out his gobble the whole farm would quiet down. I chased this old warrior for 3 years. Long lived The King!

Nice pics and birds!! Here is my biggest ever gobbler taken on opening day 2014 here in NY. It was pouring rain but an awesome hunt! 10in beard, 1 1/2 spurs. Monster bird for around me.

Here's one of my favorite hunts. I was always working on Missouri's youth season and rarely got to take my son out. He happened to be out of school on opening day of our regular spring season. After a rainy morning we struck this bird about 12:40. Have to quit at 1:00. This little 2 year old gobbled his head off and put on a show, Chase shot him a few minutes before 1:00.

Had these toms 15 yards away not 20 minutes before this picture. Was in the woods and there was all kinds of junk between us and they were surrounded by hens. They must have gobbled 200 times on the roost and watched them breed 7-8 hens at 15 yards. It is a hunt I will never forget. I have a suspicion that one is the young King before he earned a name and got on the hit list.

A 4:00 on 2 yr old, probably the prettiest Tom I have ever killed. His colors just shined and he has a glossy look to him. Sported a 10" beard and 3/4" Spurs.

This was a pretty special hunt for me. One of my good friends had been deployed for a year. Before he returned I was deployed for a year so we hadn't chased turkeys in over 2 years. No gobbling that morning but struck these birds mid morning. They came in to my right and he was on my left so I ended up shooting. I cut several times to hold the 2nd bird but he ran off. As we were retrieving my bird I told him I was surprised that I couldn't make the 2nd bird stay in place for a shot. I hit the call just replaying our hunt and bang, the 2nd bird sounded off down in the holler below us. Quick set up and here he came.
