Got my first turkey!
Have turkey hunted a few years at my club and have always seen birds, just never within range. At 6:15am had 2 gobblers just out of range. I kept seein birds all day long on the hill behind me, and I decided to re-locate. Found a spot along the stone wall on the hill, behind a bush and sat down around 8am. I was there no longer than 40 minutes when I heard a gobbler. I called back a few times and had 4 hens runnning down the hill, followed by a jake, and then this big boy was behind all of them. I shot him while he was running at about 20 yards. Too bad when i shot, I must have clipped the beard because there was not much left when i got to him. Got my brid at 8:45am, then went to the cabin to eat my lunch .
