Title: Louisiana Swamp Rooster Down!
Post by: TANK on March 30, 2011, 02:03:48 PM
(http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee396/TANK7571/photo1.jpg) This is the turkey I killed on 3-21-11. It took me awhile to figure out how to post the picture..............18 1/2 lbs, 10 3/4 beard, & 7/8 spurs. He went to Heaven 3-21-11 at about 7:50. He played the game perfectly, just took his time on the way to me. He gobbled about 75 times Monday morning. 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. That is also my favorite yelper there with him. I roosted him the evening before, and he gobbled about 200 times Sunday evening. I had him within 20 steps 3 different times, and a guy in a airboat, going up & down the river kept turning him back.
