Title: Well...
Post by: bowhunter2k9 on March 15, 2013, 03:11:30 PM
Hey guys,

Went hunting this morning to the "no turkeys property". me and a buddy "southernthunder" heard nothing this morning... Walked miles and miles calling and listening. Nothing...

Then I decided we would make the circle back to where we started the morning, on a trail at the property line, another trail around the corner 20 yds from us. We sat and called and I called a buddy and talked on the phone while my other buddy called... And then I got off the phone and talked to him for a few mins and right when me and him called a gobble cut him off from about 60 yds around the corner! Disbelief struck us, I had no idea what to do so he dove behind me and I wheeled around on the tree... To be met by a nice gobbler in about 30 seconds. He came in strutting and I killed him on the second shot, hevi 5's when he tried to fly away... I made a bad first shot.  But dead is dead! My first opening morning bird!!
