Title: LOUISIANA GOBBLER PUT TO BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: TANK on March 18, 2011, 11:20:40 PM
Well, I put him to sleep this evening in a spruce pine on the edge of a food plot. I went after dark and picked out my spot for in the morning. I am trying to decide if I should use a decoy or not. Its about 6 to 10 hens in the area so I don't know.  I'm gona see how well he likes the new calls I got from Pappy, Lights Out, & Hooks..................Hopefully he'll be with Jesus about 7:15 am!

Hunted all day yesterday. I set up on the food plot well before daylight, and at 8:00 still no turkey................I haven't seen him til yet! Did get busted around 10:00 by one that looked like he had a 2 litter Coke bottle tied from his chest. I am headed back out know. Good Luck to all!!!!!!!!!

Got him roosted again this evening.........I had him at 25 steps after calling him 3oo yards with my wingbone. I set up in a 3 way intersection of a road, against the wrong tree. I was on the edge of a river bank. The turkey started the last few steps 3 different times and was turned back each time by a airboat going up and down the river.......... he flew up at 7:42 in a red oak. After dark I made sure of his location, then cleaned out my new ambush point for in the morning. I was almost 9:00 getting to the truck. We'll see what tomorrow holds.........

He went to Heaven this morning at about 7:50. He played the game perfectly, just took his time on the way to me. He gobbled about 75 times. I had to move my gun about 4 inches, and he seen me and ran. A load of Hevi Blends hit him in the back of the head at 30 steps, and rolled him in 3 somersaults! I got some cool pic's but don't know how to download 'em. 18 1/2 lbs, 10 3/4 beard, 7/8 spurs.

I just sent you a link to a tutorial that Old Hen put on here on how to post pictures. It's pretty easy to follow so you should be able to hook us up with some pics of your big boy.

Congratulations on closing the deal with your bird.
