BilletHead Posted Friday at 06:54 PM Posted Friday at 06:54 PM 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.

The first one I ever shot flopped around all over the place. I was only 13 or 14 and my dad and uncle weren’t there to help. It wasn’t a good time.

They are powerful birds and those wings flapping around will beat you to death. I have grabbed the legs and got spurred on the wrists. At the same time those wings were again flapping, and I felt like a helicopter getting ready to take flight.

Terrierman Posted Saturday at 11:00 PM Posted Saturday at 11:00 PM I guess there might have been deader turkeys sometime. But maybe not. It's not hard to miss at that range. Good shot. BilletHead 1
