Not much of a story here. I was debating setting on the edge of a field or heading into the woodds when I heard a gobble. I decided to head into the woods. I sat down 70 yards from one that was roosted and not gobbling. Luckily I spotted it first. I had two others gobbling, one to the right one to the left and the one in front of me. He flew down, the one to the left followed. The first one cleard a tree strutting and boom, season over! 19#'s 19and 20 mm spurs 10.5" beard  |

Hey, a successful hunt is a good thing no matter how it happens . Congratulations. Back when I took my first IN deer it was at 8:20am of opening day - didn't bother me one bit (stopped then because I didn't know how my family would take to venison - I should have bought a bonus tag and kept going); I wouldn't let this quick hunt bother me at all. If you want to still get out perhaps you could help someone you know?

Sometimes (not vert oten though) they just seem to fall into our laps and other times (most often) they are tough birds to hunt..
The "easy" birds just make up for all the tough times we have been frustrated.
Congratulations!

This year made up for all the other years I had to work for my birds. On the bright side I will be able to fish more now!!!
