Prettiest place you've killed a turkey

So we have talked about the strangest place what about the prettiest place that you can remember. Mine was early morning on a hardwood ridge as the sun was just hitting the top. I look out the end of the ridge and I see this beautiful strutter coming right through the new blooming buttercups.  He strutted all the way up to 20 yds. after the shot I just sat a was amazed at the beauty and realized how lucky I was to experience such a morning. P.S. I will be back on that ridge in a few weeks. ;D

In the Ozark mountains next to the White River in AR.  Also one that sticks in my mind was the river bottoms of the Tombigbee river in AL.

I can relate, Gobbler Slough (my fav) is a back water of the Tombigbee River, beautiful country no doubt.

I can think of a couple. I killed a gobbler in a field of purple flowers. I don't know what the flowers are called but it was beautiful. My first Osceola in the Swamps of FL in a huge Oak Hammock. In a beautiful Hardwood bottom in MS (Thanks Robin). There are many more I can remember. Not many ugly places that I hunt turkeys in the spring.

My favorite places to hunt turkeys are the Black Hills NF of Wyoming and the Pine Ridge in Nebraska. This pic was taken a few years ago in the Pine Ridge.

If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

The prettiest place, hmmm.......... I am going to have to say one I killed 2 springs ago, on opening morning. It rained for a week. The water was 3 - 4 feet deep where it was normally dry ground. I pattled down a 4 wheeler trail that heads to a ridge. It was 2 turkeys gobbling that morning one on this ridge and one on another about 250 yards away. I realized I couldn't get any closer to the ridge. So I just sat in the boat thinking what to do. This turkey had stopped gobbling, I think I scaird him. I yelped a few times to see if he would answer, nothing, but the turkey behind me was hammering at every yelp. I was parked in some pine trees that was about 6 feet tall, and the water was about 3 feet deep. All off a sudden it sounded like a helicopter crash landing in a Live Oak tree above my head. The turkey flew the 250 yards and lit above my boat. I raised my gun and rolled him out in the water.................Never thought that would have ever happened!

I love the beauty of the Black Hills, but the absolute prettiest place I've killed gobblers is in southwest Colorado in the shadow of the San Juan mountains.

I can't think of a bad place to be honest!  Anytime outside in the spring is a blessing in-deed!
