Anyway did manage to bag one bird. This guy kept coming into 50yard mark then circling back. He did this three times. Finally I gave a cluck on box call and he came into 35 yards. He was behind some birch trees looking out to see if i was around. Was kind of comical really as he would poke his head out every few seconds like a game. Finally he took a side step out right into my sight and boom end game. Unfortunatley i he flopped into the tree and damaged his left wing so no pic of that side.
On a side note when I picked up my tag I thought the new tags were stupid and after applying it to the bird I know they are stupid. What was the ministry thinking? I was really hoping they would ask opinion of tags during the turkey phone in call.
Gun was a 20ga 870 in cammo with a tightwad choke. Winchester turkey load in #4
Bird had 8.5inch beard. 1"spurs and weighed 19 3/4lbs.
Threw this pick in too. Shot of day breaking in Arthur April 28 2012. One of the great joys of hunting. Natures visual effects are awsome
