When he's SO CLOSE the wad kills him too...

[mightyjoeyoung]

Couldn't hunt the bench Thursday because of work, but I set my alarm for 0400 Friday morning hit the "snooze button"...aaaaand woke up at 0445!     JUMPED out of bed and hot footed it out to the farm.  Got there only 10 minutes later than usual so I wasn't in too much trouble. Got to the spot the gobblers have been strutting while they wait for the hens and placed only my AVX breeder 15 yards out and angled to my left on a ltitle flat, just before the ravine fell away that sits a few feet lower than the bench.  As if on cue the birds stared sounding off on the roost at 0545.  I heard only 3 gobbles though and then they went dead quiet. At 0600 I caught a quick flash of dark movement 60 yards out along the edge of the ravine.  Now I knew why it got so quiet.  This guy was out on the prowl.  He turned at 40 and headed to the bench on my right but stopped.  I mouth squeaked once and he turned and came running.  When I squeazed the trigger his feet were on and dead log that was a whopping 7 yards from my gun barrel!  He took every pellet AND the wad from the heavyweight 7s and it stoned him, hitting him at the base of the neck, just in front of his left shoulder, rolling him backwards.   I don't know how but he got back up and half ran, half pushe'd himself about 45 yards before piling up for good.  I swear I thought he was going to jump in my lap!  You know your camo works when the wad kills him too.  Lol

Killed one myself earlier this week, at 25 yards Winchester XX 5's dropped him like a rock.  Came in behind me, I had been calling so I figure he was being curious, got him killed.

Nice!  Yours looks bigger and mine was an adult male.  He had calluses on his knees even. Lol. He weighed just at 38 pounds, but boy did he look bigger down my gun sight!
