Awsome Turkey Day
I was telling Dan the other day that it's been really crazy here work is insane buisy 10 to 11 hour days wifes got me building a shed in the backyard, only got out for trout once and had a good day...went for bass once and had some success. Today was turkey day and l had to move my daughter out of college at noon so 10 o'clock was my turkey hunting limit.
I love the crossbow but next week we have a graduation and my turkey day was literally "today" so l broke out the 30 year old new England 10 guage for the make it or break it hunt.
By 8 am my brother and l both had a gobbler and he shot a nice one too. We did a double with 4 gobblers coming in at once.
He's probably napping now l tried to get a picture of his bird ,out of all his legitimate turkey guns he chose a mossberg double barrel home defense gun lol.
He said turkey chokes are overated and who can argue the big bird dropped like a rock at 20 yards from the 18.5 improved cylinder gun.
I shot after him and the big 10 guage dropped a bird after probably 12 years in hibernation..gotta admit it was kinda cool for a change of weapon.crossbows don't kick the shoulder I bet I needed a good wack.
An awsome day for sure! I'm truly blessed! I'm tired as heck but there is nothing like a "turkey high " and the all day smile l gotstid
I wish everyone turkey success!

I love spring but everything literally comes all at once !
Can we slow it down a little before the heat comes!

Re: Awsome Turkey Day
Hey Joe!!
That looks like a lot of fun had in a little time frame!!
I understand the work part! And summer in Texas is fast approaching!
I just climbed off the tractor. Long, hot day!
I wish you continued success at every chance in the Great Outdoors!

Re: Awsome Turkey Day
Awesome Joe. Don't burn yourself out at work, do it hunting & fishing.
It’s not the way you rock, it’s the way that you roll!

Looks like you used the free time you did have to great effect.
Very nice turkey harvest and nice fish to boot !
I have never fired a 10 gauge it must hurt at both ends of the gun
