Title: #1 Down in Tennessee
Post by: flydowntn on April 07, 2011, 06:40:01 PM
I got this one at 6:40 this morning. He had a buddy come in with him. He was halfway strutting and got the dirtnap at around 30 yrds. There was another one about 80 or so yrds behind be gobbling his butt off. This gobbled only 10 times on the roost and didnt gobble any after the one behind me started. I used the Mag Blend last year and they are just as deadly this year. I will be back after one of the other 2 in the morning. Look at the white on the one feather. Is this common in easterns everyones killed. I cant remember killing one that had this. Thanks. 9.5" B  .750 Spurs

Congrats on the turkey bird.  The white on the tail feathers is farly common in some ares.  I kill one like that about every two years.  I Killed one last year and have killed one this year like that.

Congrats on a FINE bird  :icon_thumright:  I'm still chasing the 1st one here in TN.  The white is pretty common.  I called in one for a buddy that had white in the tail feathers like that back in '06 and I killed one in '08 that had white in the tail feathers too.  Here it is:
