Got today, you dont want to here the rest of the story
Now that was an expensive tom you turkey!TEXAN Connection said:Hoped someone would ask.. We dont have many birds here. BUT weve been watching these 2 toms and a few hens latley, and listening..
So i figured we could get one Tom that the county allows per yr. Figured it might be a adventure.
Got me a turkey call.
We heard the toms this morn and tried calling. No luck.. I geared up and went out.
After about 30 minutes moving and calling,, They heard me. They moved toward me, I moved toward them, then sat and called them in.
The 2 toms came around the Brush, strutted a bit. then clamed up... I was caught, but they wernt moving out. still curious,, so at about 50 ft with a 410 and 6 shot the lead bird went down. I knew this would be my only shot.
Cool,,, the other flew, I hope the coyotes dont get him. As bad as the coyotes are here. the birds have done well so far. There was very few a couple yrs ago.
Got the Bird home. took some pics and started cleaning him..
Well,,,, I slipped,, (dumb ass),,, Cut a 12 stiches gash in my wrist, and finger. went to the local ER, called my buddy and he cleaned the Tom for me.
Thats it.Crazy huh?
