I love turkey hunting in the spring, but I am not a purist. I love eating turkey. I only kill one of them in the fall. Either for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Decided to go gather one up for tomorrow after I got off early this afternoon. Didn't do anything fancy just went to the field at my hunting spot where they cut across a corner every evening heading to roosting woods. Me, my Shockey shooting stick and a chair hidden in a clump of bushes. Mossberg MVP 5.56 with Hornady Frontier 62 grn soft point. Beautiful bird. Probably 18 lbs 10.5 inch beard and 1.25 inch spurs. 9 gobblers in the group, he was the closest not the biggest. About 75 yards. He flopped his wings about 5 or 6 times and twice caught enough dirt kicking his legs to do a flip. But you can't go far with your head looking like that.
Happy Thanksgiving
