I hadn't seen too many birds around but I decided to go sit out on the evening of May 5th. My hubby said...."it's a nice day, it's supposed to rain tomorrow, go enjoy a nice evening in the field". So, not expecting to see anything, I packed my shotgun & a good book and sat out in "the box" overlooking a field that backs up to a creek on the farm across the street. All was quiet from about 4:30 to 6pm then a hen wandered through the field. About 6:15, a half dozen deer wandered through, checked out my lone hen decoy and left for greener pastures. At 6:30, I was getting hungry so decided to pack up and go cook dinner. I just got my slate packed away, looked up & saw 2 gobblers pop out of the creek-bed & they were eyeballing my decoy. I quickly pulled my face-mask back on, pulled the slate back out & gave a couple soft purrs and then shut up. The 2 boys came in ON THE RUN! I could see the first one was a smaller bird so I waited for his big brother to come in...took aim and BLASTED HIM! He rolled, flopped & died on the spot. Not my biggest bird but down right respectable. 22.3 lbs, 1" spurs and an 8-3/4 inch beard (There was 1 hair at 9" but the majority of the beard was 8-3/4). Great evening hunting but kinda depressing that my season is over after 2 hours!

Nice! I want to come over for dinner next time.
We need to get Sue to post up some of her birds, too..I'm jealous of you two. I've never even hit a turkey with my car. |
