Got my bird yesterday!

No decoy, no blind, just me doing a nice little spot and stalk in the hills after I got bored of sitting. (There's something about laying on your belly in the tall grass... very Kat-like, no?)

Not a monster, just a good eatin' 2 year old bird. 10" beard and 7/8" spurs, not sure on the weight, but by the time I carried him across the field it felt like he weighed 54.93 lbs.. I also found a little shed that was all chewed up and a few morels.

Oh yeah, didn't use the wingbone call this year, as I wanted to try out my new Mystic. I left all my gear behind during the stalk though, so I used my voice to call him in to 15 yards.

My next camera will have a remote. I’m getting tired of the "Run back before the timer goes off" game. There was a tom gobbling his head off in the creek right behind me the whole time I was taking harvest photos. I'm starting to think I'm invisible to turkeys.

Congrats Kat!

Yes + Yes: They do seem to get heavy on the walk out and my next cam will have a longer time to get in front or a remote.
 
Worse could happen than to be invisible to the turkeys, when you start to be invisible in front of the camera- I'm going to get nervous.

Great job!
 
Nice "Kat" like job Kat.

I bet that bird will be mighty tasty with some dandelions, thisles, tree bark, and whatever else you find layin' around.

Moosie, I was thinking of a nice Pinot Noir and a butternut squash stuffed with wild rice and morel mushrooms. Maybe some bourbon spiked sweet potato pie. You wanna come over?

Dang!!! That's probably served on a white tablecloth with more forks than I know what to do with!

A 4 hour road trip for dead bird and Pinot Noir. It's tempting Kat. Throw the bird in the fridge and let me think about it.......
