No pics.

I actually thought I was done hunting for the year.  But on my way between jobs I noticed a strutter in a very bad spot (for him).  I new I could sneak up to gun range easily.  Well I called the second job and let them know I would be late, grabbed the gear still tossed around the truck and off I went.  Got to my desired location but as it always happens the birds moved off.  I set up and got the calls out.  A soft yelp, some clucks and a kee kee and I shut up.  Took 10min for the hes to move my way bring the tom along.  

Well I went to my side job and the owner and kids loved the turkey and wanted feathers.  I forgot about the picture and lets say after they got there feathers it was not a pretty sight.  I kind of regret no pics, but how many pics of turkeys does one need?
