Title: KS Graduation Gobbler
Post by: WyoHunter on May 16, 2016, 07:05:37 PM
My first trip to KS was cut short by bad weather and muddy roads that prevented me from using my second tag. My grandson's graduation was this past Saturday and since the ceremony didn't start until 2:00 PM we left WY on Friday so I could hunt Saturday morning. Since I didn't have time to hunt all day I went to the picked cornfield where I shot my first bird and set out two decoys and started to call. After about twenty minutes I saw a gobbler come in silent from the creek bottom and looked at the decoys. He stared at the decoys for a while and then started to move away. I shifted my Beretta as he walked and placed the Circle reticle on his head. At 38 yards the Hevi-13 7's bowled him over. It was a short but satisfying hunt and I made it back to the hotel for breakfast with my wife. The graduation of my grandson made it a great day!

After taking that bird, I'll bet Pomp and Circumstance never sounded so good! Congratulations on filling that tag.
