This afternoon I saw it done in style
I stoped over to a place I had permission to hunt ground hogs in the past , to ask for permission again
We were sitting on his back porch talking after he signed the permission slip
When his wife stuck her head out the door , saying "Those Birds are in the Garden again "
He reached into the house and grabbed gun case , a Browning BT99 Trap gun and 1 AA trap shell
We stepped off the porch and walked to the side of the house
There in the garden was a hen turkey and a nice Tom
They looked at him and went back to feeding on what ever they had planted in the garden
So he stuck the 1 trap load he had with him in the shotgun and shot the tom
Now the hen ran and flew away .....and fast
But at about 20 yards , the trap load worked on the tom
He maybe didn't know turkey hunting wasn't suposed to be that easy
But they were feeding in his garden
My guess a 2 year old Tom
Just over 1" spurs and a 8" beard
Oh well
I guess I am just not hunting in the right spots LOL
