last night i called in a bird for a friend of mine and it was by far the longest i have ever called to a bird before he showed up. we heard him gobble at around 5 in the afternoon and when i called to him he would answer, so would his 2 buddies. 2 hours and 30 minutes later the bird finally steps out into the field gobbling and strutting. he was out of range so i started reeling in my new Reel turkey decoy from expodite and he took off running strait for it. well about 10 yards into the reeling the decoy hit a corn stalk and flipped onto its side. this freaked the gobbler out. not knowing what to do with a hen laying on her side he trotted to wards the woods. wanting to take another look he stopped and turned back around and thats where he made the biggest mistake of his life. using my bennelli with 3 1/2 number 4 heavy shot my buddy drops him. when we picked the bird up i turned and ranged the blind because i knew it was a long shot and got 52 yards. the bird didnt flop or anything and he couldnt have went anywhere if he wanted to. his right wing was broke in 2 places and his right leg was shot almost in two. neadless to say this was well worth the wait and the price of those heavy shot shells.

Sounds like as hard as that bird was hit, you could have took a 60 yard shot, Congratulations on a Tom you will remember the rest of your life...

Congrats on the patience to keep at it-because it paid off! There are people that say the hevishot is too expensive but if you only get one shot then I feel the extra couple of quarters is worth it!
