called one up for the wife this morning....

Postby AMoore141 » Sat Mar 26, 2011 4:28 pm

Take my wife turkey hunting this morning for the second time ever and just like after I got her hooked on deer hunting....she has officially killed a bigger deer and turkey than I have!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :oops:

Had 4 gobblers hammering on the roost early and three that were together were answering my every call. They pitched down and gobbled a few times then came right in to about 25 yards, then the wind blows and my decoy decides to spin and face right at them and lean sideways!!!! The lead gobbler sticks his head up real high and kinds starts acting nervous and I feel like I was almost hollering at her to shoot......she lets him get out to about 30-35 yards and lays the hammer down with a 870 20ga. youth model with some heavi shot (bad stuff!!)........of course I forgot to tell her to run to the turkey after you shoot and as she shoots im screaming run and take off and scare the hell out of her!!! :lol:

Ended up measuring 11 1/2" beard and 1 3/8" and 1 1/2" spurs and weighed 18.8 pounds......

Definitely one of my best experiences hunting ever!!!! Now if I can just kill one myself :evil: :wink:

Could you imagine being a turkey and something like that happening in front of you with what seemed like a real hen? It'd be a nightmare come true. Like a human equivalent of a Chuckie movie.

That doesn't look to be bad thing! Congrats, first bird and it's a BOSS!
