GA Opening weekend

[TRKYHTR]

Here are a few pics from our GA turkey hunt. We started in GA on their opening day in a lightning and thunderstorm hunting with Dave and Drew Owens. After almost getting hit by lightning Joey killed a turkey right after flydown. When I say almost getting hit by lightning I mean it hit so close to use that it blinded us for a few seconds and we became disoriented. We all hit the dirt and took our shotguns off our shoulders. The thunder was instantaneous and deafening. I wish I was as elequent of speech like CATDADDY so I could explain it better but lets just say we are lucky to be alive. The next day we hunted with Drew after he called us to tell us he had 2 strutters in a field that we should be able to get on. He was within killing distance for 2 hours until we got there. Then Dave and I took over the calling and tactical maneuvers. Dave was videoing with his new camera and it was GOOD. My gobbler had 3 beards; 9.5", 6.75", and 7" with 1 1/8" spurs and 18.5 lbs. Joey killed a turkey about an hour later after shooting it out from under Dave and the Camera man. Lol Being the back up means "waiting until the shooter gets done". It was a beast of a turkey. 23.1lbs, 10 5/8" beard, and 1 5/16" spurs. Thanks to Dave and Drew for inviting us down there and helping us get it done. Them boys can get it done in the woods.
