Holiday Turkey
Decided to spend the hot temperatures sitting in the shade of the bush yesterday afternoon and found this guy wandering past me at 20 yards. A blast of 3" Winchester #5's out of my Mossberg 535 sealed the deal.
Only 16lbs, 4 oz but had 1" spurs and 10 3/8 beard.

If the thrill of the hunt is lost, then I have lost.

Re: Holiday Turkey
Thanks all.....
Hot yes......but better than doing more landscaping work at home.
Figured if I was looking for the shade in the bush, Mr. Tom might be thinking the same.
First time successful in the evening, 5:00.

Re: Holiday Turkey
It surely paid off to spend some time out in the heat! Congrats on a nice turkey there.
Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
