Title: My season ended two minutes after sunrise
Post by: Tail Feathers on April 16, 2013, 07:49:38 PM
And I'm happy about it! :icon_thumright:  Well...except for the one bird limit.
I set up in one spot nice and early and two toms opened up a few hundred yard off, just on the other side of a huge gravel gas well pad.  After a minute or so I picked up and headed over.  As I walked across the pad I got close enough to really worry they were roosted on the edge of the woods and were watching me.
I slipped off the well pad and down to the woods edge.  There was a huge pile of dirt on corner of the pad and I slipped in about 65 yards or so from the toms who were gobbling up a bone!
Three yelps and a few clucks later and I hear flydown.  He lands on the big dirtpile, right behind me!!
I screwed around and expected to see his head pop over the top but came walking down the side.  He stopped to gobble and I shot him in mid-gobble.
The second one flew down as I got up to walk to him.  I could have taken him too but we have a one bird limit.
Sunrise was 6:49 and I got him at 6:51.  I'll post pics when I can.  It was truly the ugliest place I've ever killed a turkey but you gotta shoot 'em where you find 'em. :funnyturkey:
We head to KS and OK later this month, i can't wait!

They should refund you the price of your license.  You barely got to use it.  :TooFunny:
