Rained out gobbler. Day one located him but heavy rain kept us apart. Day to two set up and an hour later me an him never separated from then on.
Dog will hunt, dog will hunt.
Thanks for the opportunity.
My most memorable bird, The BNOF (Big Nasty On the Farm), is still walking around. Been giving me the slip for the past 3 years...
The sunrise gobbler. Thank you
I like to think that the "Ghost Turkey" still haunts those hallowed ridges. Thanks for opportunity.
A turkey I named Bob Ross escaped me multiple times in 2019. When I figured out where he was strutting on a little cutover hilltop I walked up there and the view over all the green hardwood trees looked like a Bob Ross painting. Man I wished I would have gotten that bird.

The Ghost Gobbler
Teaser , I hunted him for 3 years and my youngest son got him, it was the first one he had called in by his self and I was right beside him when he did it I will never forget, to top it off he was a monster 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" Spurs 10 1/2 beard he told me I was more excited than he was I told him he didn't understand that he killed the equivalent of a 12 point buck.
Gang of Three. Had 2 jakes and a gobbler that hung out together and never did get him.
Neighbors gobbler
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE
Thanks for the support. Mine is the " 100 hour Gobbler "
If my number gets drawn draw another, I already have 2 copies. One I remember most is first one I called in, came from several hundred yards away. Every time I made a sound he gobbled, hard and many triple gobbles. In the end I made a rookie mistake and looked behind me because I did not hear him anymore, and he was a 20 yards over my left shoulder. He saw me as I saw him and he went running. I got so amped up I almost puked from the excitement and I was shaking like crazy. Guess I would have to call him The Traveling Big Mouth.
The one that broke the ice. Thanks for the chance!
Birthday Gobbler - One of the best hunts I've ever had with my dad.
The, "I DON'T NEED ANY STINKING CAMOFLAGE", gobbler. Long Story and a GREAT Story. Florida Osceola that returned to NC with me. Thanks Ted!!!!
Bigfoot. He had the biggest track I've ever seen. He died of old age.
Little Drummer Boy! I bet he died of old age
Walk away Tom

Stumpy...Had 2 birds come in together. One went to the left and the other to the right. My buddy killed the one that went to the right at 25 yards. The other bird ran about 20 yards and hopped up on a stump. I shot him off the stump at 30 yards while he stood there looking at his buddy flopping. It was the first of several doubles for my buddy & I.
The Knob Gobbler!
Thanks for the opportunity, this is a great site!
Split tail. Hunted him over 20 days, then took my my wife out and she killed him in an hour
"The Guardian Angel". Hunted this gobbler for three years and he should have died several times but he seemed to have a Guardian Angel looking after him. Never got him. I suppose he died of old age!

Last day on the horizon during sunrise gobbler
The silent assassin. Thanks
"The thunderstorm thunder chicken". He made me get soak and wet and risk my life while gobbled and gobbled just over a rise, never got the shot.
"The man" he had many hens and didn't need to go anywhere.
The screamer.
"Lucky"....thanks for this!
The Cornfield Gobbler......he smoked me twice.
I think about him and the other Gobblers that have out smarted me a lot more often than the ones I actually harvested.
Thank you......Excellent give away opportunity.

My favorite gobbler is my next !! As he is always the one that keeps me going.
Thanks..
King Geoffrey. He ruled his domain and expected all the turkeys under him , including hens , to bow down and submit to his rule.
The 3 stooges. I was able to harvest all 3 of them.
Yelper
the kamikazee
thanks
Brownie. He was a odd light brown feathered bird who ran in to attack my decoy and back out. I was too stunned to get off a shot.
Ol' Tubby. Never got him.

The Laughing Gobbler.
I hunted this one in northern Mo. 1st time I struck him some dolt came down into valley while he was spitting and drumming trying to flank me on the left. Suddenly I hear this God awful sound. Not sure but I think it was an attempt at an owl hoot. What the hell was that I said to myself. The origin became clear as I hear a kazoo( guessing an attempt at a crow call) from same area. Gobbler gone. I try and make a move to distant gobble that fired up while calling to drumming bird and the kazoo follows just up the ridge line from me. Finally had enough and yelled at the clown " why don't you deposit that damn call where the sun don't shine" not the exact words but you get the picture and leave the woods because I don't want to be anywhere near this idiot while hunting.
Next time in there I was only able to pull him into about 60 yds in an small clearing. Big,Big Tom.
Last day of Mo season payed him a visit. Nothing. As I was walking out after season closing the bird shows up and tears the woods down.
He gets the name Laughing Gobbler because on that last day I believe he was Laughing at me and telling me to go home.
Hammer. Never did get him. Thanks.
Ol crazy finally killed him last day of season a few years ago.
The Turkey Bottom Gobbler.
The first year turkey hunting for a friend and I. Yelped into a creek bottom about daylight on our hunting club and got an first answer from a wild turkey! We were jacked to say the least and already thinking about how we'd cook him. Of course we never saw him. That's how he and a nondescript section of creek bottom got their name.
Thank for the generous offer.
Paint Brush. Big thick long beard. I was plan wore out chasing birds and my buddie talked me into trying an old field . I called him into a pine stand as he strutted up to my hen decoy I gave him a load of #4. Great hunt with my best friend.
2nd Chance. Early morning choke turned into cat and mouse. Come lunch, the gig was up. Most memorable of all my hunts. Thanks for the chance.
Curiosity killed the Tom.
Chief Long Hook Hide & Seek
Swapped ridges for 3 consecutive mornings before he slipped up.
"The Miss" one I missed several years ago that I still can not figure out how I missed the shot. Thanks for the chance
old gotaway
Thanks for the opportunity.
For me the most memorable named bird was "The Gate Keeper".
Mine would be Wake up call. My dad actually killed him but I called him up.
Appreciate the offer!
Most memorable Tom for me was one we called Hugh as in Hugh Hefner. Never took him him, but watched him out of range many a time with several hens.
Lucky. Chased him for 3 years. Thanks for the chance to win
