Got number 3 yesterday, with 8 days left in the season.

Had worked this bird since 6:15, killed him at 9:40.

He surprised me by gobbling behind me at 9:30..Turned around and here he was 120 yards away!

Did a little sexy calling, and 5 minutes later he walks WITHIN 3 YARDS OF ME, across a thick ass holler I thought he'd go around. Got him on video walking RIGHT BY ME, but i missed the kill shot b/c he was so close I was afraid to move the camera. Once you see him walk by, thats all that happens

When he was about 9 steps away he got nervous and I went ahead and took him. Had to put the ol' body shot on him (usually aim for the head), because at that close my pattern isn't any bigger than a baseball and his head was moving an awfully lot.

A nice 3 year old bird with sharp 1" spurs and a thick 9.5" beard. Only got 1 half of the breast due to my body shot, but its gonna be some good eatin!

I finally caught up to my age with turkeys harvested (20) in just 6 seasons of hunting.

Thursday my dad and I are leaving for Missouri, to try and get 2 more each. Wish us luck.

 
Very nice job Deer, i give u guys that hunt alot of credit. I don't have the patience to hunt like this.

 

Went hunting a few times on vacation and my uncles hated my impatience. As soon as id see a turkey id immediately wanna pull the trigger.
