We watched two Toms struting for a considerable time in the same place that Jeff shot his last week. When eventually they retreated from the open field to the safety of the bush we quickly made our move.
We tried to make it to the nearest cover, but did not make it when he reappeared again. So we hit the deck in the open field. Jeff was on my right and I stuck the hen decoy to my right, the three of us shoulder to shoulder.
A few seductive hen calls had him approaching slowly and in full strut. Little did he know the the camo looking clumps next to the hen were very serious.
One's spine sure takes a jolt when firing turkey loads in the prone position. Not recommended for those with back problems.
This is my first turkey.
22 3/4 pounds
10" beard
1" spur
This is where I shot him.
