I got out yesterday morning with deermagnet for a turkey hunt.After a few hour sit on our morning spot we opted to change properties and hunt another spot. I had just pulled out the pop-up blind out of it's case and I had an immediate gobble.I rushed to set a decoy out, put in the pegs and ridge poles in the blind and rushed to zip the door shut.I gave a few yelps on the mouth call and it was on.This Tom put on quite a show for me and I loved every minute of it.He was gobbling like crazy, dragging his wings and just going nuts.He hung up a little at about 70 yards and I gave him a few more short soft yelps and that sealed the deal.He closed the distance to 25 yards and I ripped one shell into his head.This was the only bird I heard gobble all season.He weighted out at:18lbs 15 oz, had a 8 3/4 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs.I had fun a season, hoping to be able to just get out and watch someone else shoot one.![]() ![]() ![]() |

He wasn't moving at all when I walked up, but did the usual leg thrusts and wing flapping crap when I picked him up. |
