Kentucky Bird...
I had a ton of gobbling going on all around me. When it got light I could see a gobbler roosted about 100 yards away.
4 longbeards hit my field but for some reason they would not commit to the jake and hen decoy. They were skirting the edge of the field and was starting to move away from me. The last bird went into a half strut so I decided to take him. I got his head centered in the Pro-Diamond and boom..down he went. The other three flushed a little, looked back and the decided to skedaddle. I'm guessing that they were all 2 year olds. When I set the blind up I set it where I thought i was within shooting distance of that edge. After I recovered the bird I ranged it and it was further than I thought. It was 55 yards. The edge runs at an angle and they were further down the angle, so it was deceiving.. The Rhino .665 choke paired with Nitro 4x5x7 shells and the Simmons 2X Pro-Diamond is a killer combination..

Congratulations Woody! Guessing he was a fine 2 yr old...looks like he'd been through a round or 2! Seems like he's missing a few feathers ... or maybe they're just hiding.
Like Greg...just wondering how many gobblers you've put down...or if you can harbor a guess?

HCG,
He had all his tail feathers. My fat thumb probably separated them.
His spurs were a full one inch and pointed so I'm guessing he was a three year old running with some two year olds. He was the only one that broke out in any kind of a strut. I've never kept count of how many turkeys or deer that I've killed. If I was to venture a guess I'd say a couple dozen.. Even though he has been at it a lot less than me Woodmaster's numbers are pushing 40 with a Grand Slam.. Him and GS1 are the most proficient turkey hunters that I personally know of..

You do things I just dream about. It's Woodmaster's turn. I gave him my blind that is closer to the roost.... Besides, it's his 53rd birthday celebration.... |

Happy Birthday Woodmaster! My birthday was last Monday, and I got my first cup of senior coffee today. It tasted so much better.
