It was the second day of season. I was waiting on a friend that never showed. I waited till light so I got in late. I went and set up a jake and hen decoy in a spot that was hot the day before. I waited an hour and a half and never heard anything. I was getting up to try another spot when I heard one gobble in the field over. I grabbed all of my stuff and ran across the field. Down a gulley and up the other side. Called with a mouth diaphram. Sure enough 3 gobbles. I sat down at the edge of a clear cut that was about 4 feet wide and 10 feet back from the edge of the field. I called again and they were closer. I waited about 10 minutes and called again. They were real close now. Within a few minutes I saw the first one. It was about 60 yards out. The second one came in with a hen and a another gobbler. I figured them to be at about 40 yards. The first one came down to the others. Two were struting and the other one stuck his head up and stretched its neck out. I figured I would shoot that one and not take a chance of ruining the fan. I pulled the trigger and it hit the deck. That dang thing didnt even flop just fell over. I went to where it was and ranged it. It was a 50 yard shot. God blessed me. It weighted 20 pounds. The beard was 11 1/2 inches and the spurs were 23 mm.

Nice bird!!!!!!!!
Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority,and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a bowel movement by the clean end

Right on man! That is a sweet bird. Congratulations. :cheers:

Good story too. 50 yard shot eh. I think I am going to have to take my own advice and pattern my shotguns better. lol. I can't hit the broad side of a barn at 40 yards let alone 50 if history is any indicator. You smacked that gobbler good!

You're not paying for a stay at the Hilton, you're paying to participate in nature. Anything can happen.
I work part time so I can hunt full time
