Title: Bird down in Louisiana
Post by: turkey slayer on March 26, 2011, 09:40:03 PM
I had no luck this morning, so I went and played in a softball tourney that was 1hr away from my house, we were knocked out after the first 2 games so I drove back home and pulled in the driveway at 4:20 changed clothes and rode my cart into the woods to the spot where I was getting the pics. As soon as I started into the woods he was standing about 10 yards from my camera, which is only 45 yards from the edge of the woods. I saw that head poke up as I came around a big Cypress tree, I threw my gun up and BOOM the rest is history.... heck i even got a ol blunt tail cotton mouth on my way out ofthe woods!

beard: longest strand 11 3/8 , Longest 4 strands 11 inchs
Right spur:1
Left spur: 1
Weight: 20.3
Score: 63.05

Way to go, Turkey Slayer. It's nice when they come easily, once and a while. Congrats on the tom and the snake. Glad we don't have critters like that.  :you_rock:  Mike

Congrats on the bird and dang what a FAT cottonmouth. The guy who lives on our place when the weather was warmer 3 days ago, had a copperhead lying under his truck door.



Tell me you didn't shoot the snake with a shotgun. Looks like his head was cut.


God Bless,
David B.

Congrats, nice bird!!! That is a nice cotton mouth also. Down south we always have to look where we're stepping when hunting.
