Thanks, guys!
I'm pretty excited to get back out and snoop around. I called the landowner and told them lunch was on me today (they eat at our shop two or three days a week). We sat around chatting about turkey and deer hunting and they suggested I go check out another piece of their ground. I had forgotten all about it as I haven't been out there in several years. They said there seemed to be a bunch of turkeys on it this year as they saw them while mushroom hunting. I swear, hearing turkeys is the best, finding more places to hunt them is a close second.

I worked off nites this morning and figured I would sleep till 9:15 then got up and went. Heard a gobble at 10:15 and by the time I cut the distance and set a decoy up just inside the field it was 11:10, at 11:15 I was headed for the car. It was windy and he was lonely.

Copy of IMG_1951 copy.jpg Monday morning was the nastiest morning I have ever hunted turkeys.Wind and cold.We went down to my buddy's land. We heard no gobbles from the roost at all.He had went east and I went west on his property,trying to get out of the wind as much as possible.I would sit, call, and still hunt about 150 yds.between sitting.I finally heard one fairly close called a little and the Beretta put him to rest about 9:00.He is a two year old with an 8" beard,1" spurs,19#. My buddy also shot one about 7;30. A crappy day turned out to be awesome. We went down today,heard all kinds of birds gobbeling on roost,butt niether of us connected. Going to try my place with the bow in the morning.

Great job Aaron! He a beaut! It's really hard to bring one in after it starts getting windy, IMHO. Great job! What's his wt and measurements? Congrats man!

The current goings-on here at the shop have me in a knot....I can't get out! I wish someone would kill something, or at least give up a "close call" story!:)
