I killed this bird Wed morning in the thick fog. Matter of fact it was so thick I couldn't see him at 120yds. If he had not of been ripping the gobbles I would never had know he was in the pasture with me.
My guess is #4 copper plated lead maybe from last year? And no it's not one of my BB's.



And he was a window hanger

If it eats I can catch it, if it bleeds I can kill it.

Nice bird. And I hope that he just got hit with a stray when his buddy got shot. Otherwise that hunter needs practice.
I will be curios to hear if you find anymore pellets in him.

Anyway congrats.

He got bling...like them nostril studs that the teenage girls are wearing on their noses these days.   ;D

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

congrats on a great bird

it looks like he was hit with another pellet a bit lower on his leg.

Nice hooks on that gobbler.  :icon_thumright:

I killed one many years ago with a pellet in his leg. Had to be from the previous spring because it was all healed.

I also killed one in Georgia in 2010 that had been shot in the breast with #71/2 or #8 shot. Breast had gangreen and I had to throw it away. That bird came in like a normal gobbler. I never knew he was previously shot.
Tagged out for this spring. Check back with me in the fall.
