Title: He was wearing another hunters mark
Post by: Muskie03 on May 30, 2013, 12:00:12 PM

I killed this bird Wed morning in the thick fog. Matter of fact it was so thick I couldn't see him at 120yds. If he had not of been ripping the gobbles I would never had know he was in the pasture with me.
My guess is #4 copper plated lead maybe from last year? And no it's not one of my BB's.

And he was a window hanger

Nice bird. And I hope that he just got hit with a stray when his buddy got shot. Otherwise that hunter needs practice.
I will be curios to hear if you find anymore pellets in him.

Anyway congrats.

Nice hooks on that gobbler. :icon_thumright:

I killed one many years ago with a pellet in his leg. Had to be from the previous spring because it was all healed.

I also killed one in Georgia in 2010 that had been shot in the breast with #71/2 or #8 shot. Breast had gangreen and I had to throw it away. That bird came in like a normal gobbler. I never knew he was previously shot.

Congrats on a great turkey. Looks almost like the leg with the shot might have been broke. Could just be the angle of the picture.
