Took everything I had and a ton of luck to get him.... Off roost he flew the wrong way only to follow a hen back about 30min later to stay at 100-120yrds putting on a show strutting and gobbling... He could see my avain Jake and hen but wouldnt leave his hen... So I called with everything I could slate and mouth at same time just making a racket.... Well finally hen came in and spooked at about 20yrds but he stayed at about 100.... I am waited a bit and let out a few purrs and clucks and he finally got mad at my Jake and came in hot and fast... Didn't let him get too close... At 35yrds a 3.5" turkey thug 6 shot and basspro blackout choke knocked him out....

Very wet... And of course the bird had to flop down the hill and into the drainage of the field...(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160502/07559b9aecf7a4ba68920a098acaa578.jpg)

Yes the shot may have been a little low... Helped pluck the bird...lol
