Put a gobblin stomp on uncle Tom this AM.

Killed this dude this morning pretty early. He gobbled in the tree and then hit the deck and didn't have much to say. Came in and I shot him dead. Man if it could just happen like that every time I go. :dono Looked for morel's but I think the nights are just too stinkin cold. Hope we don't miss them all together. The bird was 22lbs on the money with a 10 3/4 inch beard and 1 1/8 inch spurs. His wings were pretty rough from strutting so he was a busy body thats for sure.

Sweet. I've been mushroom huntin' and takin the call to see if any are around to hunt. No responses this year. Might be due to the neighbor boys riding their ATV's & motorcycles up and down the trails everyday.
Nice Bird!

Congrats Nice bird. That looks like a Remington 1100 that you got him with Is it

Nice bird wat to go. i think the boy and i are going to sneak off during camp one moring and try to fill his first tag and my second.

No sir that's my granddads old 16 gauge. It's a recoil type discharge and she kicks like a rented mule.

I need to recreate that for my wife. It's been a couple of years since she has got one.
Good job sometimes it works out like you want!

Hey Danny, nice bird and how cool that you killed him with your grandaddy's beautiful 16ga.

Thanks Sir. I have a 12 gauge 3.5 but every year I take his old gun out in honor of him. It usually brings me some good luck.

Good bird. We have got close a couple of times so far. But just not close enough.
