Title: #1 Down in West Georgia
Post by: Roostem33 on April 19, 2011, 03:18:56 PM
I've been chasing this bird for about three weeks and i finally introduced him to a load of Hevi 13 #6. I got set up early this morning on this Gobbler he was about three hundred yds. away, got out my Birds eye Maple Glass over Slate and after a few yelps he came running in to about 65 yds and hung up. After watching him strut for some of his hens for 15 minutes I decided to go ahead and take the shot because he was acting like he wanted to leave with them. He dropped right in his tracks, its the first one I've tried to kill at that distance, but it worked out great!! Beard was 10" spurs 1 1/8 and he weighed 22 pounds.
