Title: Wife's Louisiana Bird
Post by: jperrotti on March 21, 2011, 09:43:21 AM
Me and my wife alternate who is primary shooter until one kills a bird. I was shooter Saturday, chased a henned up bird most of the morning and went home empty handed. Sunday was her turn. Morning started out foggy. We called up a few hens but that was it until 815 when a heard a gobble a good ways off. We started towards him. Closed the distance to about 200 yards and setup. It was extremely thick. My wife sat next to 9" diameter sweet gun and I just knelt down in some weeds 10 yards behind her. Started sweet talking him and realized it was multiple birds and they were headed to us. Took them about 5 minutes to appear. It was so thick we couldn't see them until they were about 20 yards away and then she couldn't get shot til about about 13 yards. She blasted him and I wasn't able to get a shot at the other two. Nice 2 year old 8" beard .75 spurs.
Lights out Glass and Hevi 13...A deadly combo

Nothing like a good celebration drink

My daughter wasn't to fond of the turkey though
