What a day. I finally got the monkey off my back. Ive been huntin turkeys for 5 years now and for the past 2 I havent killed one. The morning started out kind of slow and I only heard 2 gobbles. So I set up hoping something would come by and I had 4 of our bearded friends show up. I watched them strut for about 20 minutes and then I finally got a shot. I shot at one and must have missed because he didnt drop. They all just kind of jumped and stood there like what the hell was that, so I picked this one for my second shot and down he went at 40 yards. Them 3 1/2" shells do the job. Hes just a jake but hes a big one. About 18 lbs. 5 inch beard. Its the first jake Ive ever killed. But Im just as proud. These boys are way to elusive to be choosy.
