Title: Old Osceola kilt
Post by: ManfromGreenSwamp on March 25, 2020, 12:21:22 PM
So, March 9th, little over two weeks ago here on OG I purchased several really nice calls from an awesome fellow user here by the screen name of NeverRoosting.

Fast forward to the opening week of season... I carried several different calls with me the past 5 sits and while I got response and saw nice gobblers, it wasn't until I took the GS1 in which I could close the deal the way turkey huntin should be done. Coincidence? Call? Who cares. Time to carry a different one now.

The Purpleheart/Crystal GS1 by Andy Kaiser is not only a beautiful call, it must work well ;) Typical hunting story... Set up, daylight, gobbled, strutted, spit and drummed all the way in. That single Avian turned out to be a heartbreaker, the Hevi 7s though, a head breaker.

Beautiful morning in the magnolia roost.

One fine turkey, but I initially avoided the thread for fear of seeing you in a Scottish "man skirt."

Haha!!! I have been called the William Wallace of the flatwoods here before...that's funny.
Perhaps more proper southern is order for a thread title; " Ol' Osceola kilteded"

Thanks!

Thanks a lot everyone.
It should be noted that the folks on this site are legit. Most folks want to compare war stories or one up someone. Y'all have been nothing but wonderful...great forum all the way around. Folks enjoy seeing fellow hunter do well and like seeing birds. My kind of folks!

Thanks again guys, means a lot.

First of congrats. Secondly your second title makes it sound like you tried to put the kilt on the turkey. And judging by those spurs that could have been interesting. That's a beautiful turkey and glad you are enjoying the spring.

I don't know what I misread there because I just re-read it twice and I am wondering what I was talking about. I thought you said it was your first turkey when I read it. Don't ask me, I am going to blame it on the opioids!

I found it hard to read also.  But I blame it on the spurs.  They had me distracted.
