Missouri Gobbler

[Cove]

A couple pretty days helped me collect a pretty gobbler at 12:35pm Friday. I was in MO 5 days, it rained on 4 of those days and I dont mean a drizzle. This area is in major trouble with the flood waters. I was in an area that was far too accessible and these birds had seen a thing or two since the opener. In other words, they had the game figured out. Unfortunately for this ole boy, no one in the area uses a wingbone. After snubbing everything else, he acted stupid once the yelper got started. 




As he was receiving a shoulder ride out, we bumped a hen who was busy with this. . . . so we got a quick snap shot and fled the scene.


Thursday while walking up a creek bed, I came upon this horseshoe. . . . I knew that had to mean things were going to turn for the better with the hard headed birds.


And the living arrangements . . . .

It's a Samsung something another. . . . lol . . . . 12.2 mp and 5x zoom is what I remember. I'm just proud it's still functioning with all the rain it had to endure.

Thanks for sharing!  Love to hunt those Missouri longbeards on the MTNF, but they can be very tough.  Congrats!
