Went to a friends property yesterday evening. While he was bow hunting, I headed in the direction of where he saw turkeys a few days prior. I made the hike to the top of the ridge and made a few calls. I thought I heard a turkey answer but wasn't sure. I sat around for about 10 minutes, and never heard any more of what I thought were the turkeys. I called they didn't answer, so I decided not to waste the evening and I took off after a barking squirrel. I wound up killing a gray squirrel with the shotgun barrel of my combo gun. After I retrieved the squirrel, I decided to creep in the direction of where I thought I heard a turkey. I spotted a flock of 6 or 7 birds in a grown up clearing. I decided to set down and made a kee kee and a series of lost yelps. All the birds started moving towards me but they were angling down towards a pine thicket. I made sure I had a clean shot with a good backstop for the bullet and at 50 yards, I picked out the brood hen and squeezed the trigger. Its a good thing I used the rifle barrel because I forgot to load the shotgun barrel after I killed the squirrel. I guess I would've found out really quick though. Anyways, heres a few pictures of a nice WV fall hen. I guessed her at around 10 or 11 pounds.
