West Virginia Fall Bird Down

[870BkWht]

WV fall turkey season opened this past Sat. (10-22) but I had to work.  Made it out this morning just before daylight and headed for a woodlot with a lot of Scarlet Oaks where the birds like to roost.  I had no idea I would find birds so quick, but shortly after first light, I heard the flock start to wake up.  After a quick conversation with the brood hen and some pleading kee kee's she fell victim to a 1 5/8 oz load of #4 Remington Hevi-Shot and my fall turkey season was over in a matter of about 35 minutes.  I only wish it were that easy in Spring.  I enjoy Fall hunting just as much as the Spring, and Id just about rather kill a hen than a deer.  Here's a few pictures.

Congrats on a nice bird! I'm getting the same way about hunting in the fall. I get more excited hunting fall turkeys now  than bow hunting for deer.
