Had one start gobbling at 4 PM and killed him 20 mins later. Houndstooth bronzed glass call is SMOKING!!!
Almost stepped on a Rattler at 3:30, and jumped back real quick as he rattled at me. Shot him and killed him at about 4 steps. Me and my buddy were gasping and talking about not believing what just happened. Then took our Gobbler Loungers and set them up against a big white oak for the next mornings hunt.. We set down to relax for a second and decided to play with our calls a bit. I was showing him the new Houndstooth Glass call I got, and he is new to turkey hunting so I was playing around with all the different types of hen turkey sounds, and this gobbler fired off about 100 yds behind us. We both said, "You have to be kidding!!" We turned around and went about 20 yds to another tree that had a better field of view behind us, and about 15 minutes later he strutted up to us with a girlfriend. A good 3 year old.
1 1/16" and 15/16" spurs, 20 lbs, and a 10 3/4" beard..
Score: 61.5

Dang nice bird!!! Congrats!
Cool hunt!!
So that is why they make snake boots for turkey hunting.... Here in WI I was thinking that was to allow you to tromp thru the marsh w/o putting on hip boots. Great job!
Question, to those who know how to age a turkey. How do you tell age.... My first bird I was told was a 4.5 year old with 1-3/8 spurs and 11-1/4 beard. I forgot to ask how to tell age I was just thinking it was a good size one and a Tom so Bang at 20 yrds then my boss asked me to tell him the measurements over the phone and told me I had just out shot him on turkey hunting on my first outing (he has been turkey hunting in VA for a long time). DNR stated the aprox. age. Would like to know if it is based on measurements, or? Deer I know it is based on teeth and grind marks but not sure on turkeys.
Thanks! And again great job on both of your kills. Rattle snake soup with Turkey and gravy for you!
don't you just love it when that happens
Congrats on fine looking bird. You didnt take a picture of that rattler did you?
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations
