Just three days left I almost let the season get past me. Later morning hunt. Worked a field with birds and they left. Picked another hay field. I only had a small site window straight out front. Heard a gobble and a pair of birds followed tight to the tree row towards me. When it appeared it was like in my face. Red dot sight placed at Base of head. That bird didn't even flop around. It was less than ten yards and it blew feathers out another ten yards. You can see in this picture the string of features blown beyond the bird,
17 1/2 pounds, 10 inch beard and 1 1/2 spurs.
Jelly neck,
