I have not had much time lately so I had to pull back from all the forums.
I did find time to turkey hunt though. :biggrin: I tagged out with my second bird this morning. Last year I ate tag soup. This year I had better luck.
Aaaaand you forgot your camera? :wink:
Hey Johny great to hear your still kicking! Sounds like the turkey gods were good to you

I had my cell phone with me. This was the first one on April 24. He was a long way off on the opposite ridge and I almost didn't take the shot. But he wasn't getting any closer and those new Win XR long beard shells throw a great pattern so...... BOOM! :laf: 1 inch spurs and 9 1/2 inch beard.

Yesterday's bird gobbled his head off for 30-45 minutes before thunder struck. I moved on him two or three times to get closer and make him think a hen was coming his way. He finally came up hill along an old logging road and I saw him at 35 steps. 1 inch spurs and 10 1/4 beard.

I guesstimate both birds at 2 years old, maybe three. I didn't weigh them but they felt like 50 lbs each by the time I made the long hike back to the truck. I'm starting to feel my age me thinks. :laf:
Good story and pics! Good for you. Would love to hunt those things some day. You have amazing-to-me skill and patience and know how to coax one into shotgun range and make the kill.
Since this is a caring and sensitive safe community, I will admit (again?) that I have a craving to shoot the head off of a wild turkey from way across a field with my tack driving 6mm rifle. I know that such craving is a western disease with abhorrent symptoms that devolve into shooting grouse and ptarmigan with a .22.

Awesome job on both birds Johnny :congrats: You bet. Thanks for sharing it. Good to have ya back ya ole codger.
:bowingsmilie:.....what were you using for calling?
I would say if the spurs were 1 inch sharp they were 3 yr old
Glad to see that you are getting out and getting birds. I have gotten pretty good at getting ButterBall turkeys. They are really easy to clean and there is no shot in them. Maybe they were head shot with a rifle... :innocentwhistle:
