Opening morning 7:45. 11 inch beard, 7/8 in spurs that curve in like his toes point in not straight. Called him from the next ridge, he came down hill across a creek and up the top of the ridge I was on in the rain. I used a remington 870 20 gauge. ssx federal heavy magshok #7's. Dropped him where he was standing 35 yards.   Dave |

It is a pot call that I made out of purpleheart with a beaded glass strike surface and a carbon striker tip. I was under a big tree that blocked a lot of the rain. I need to try and make some aluminum or copper surface calls for rain just haven't had the time.

Nice bird! Turkey hunting in the rain is tough stuff, but you're chances in the rain are infinitely better than from your couch!
