Second turkey!!!!

(1/4) > >>

Got to think this is my "dream season" for turkey....so please don't wake me. :D

 First day of my second season in a different county.  Was thundering and lightening from about 2:00 to 4:00 this morning and quit but continued to rain hard.  Got set up in blind and heard nothing but rain.  About 6:10 saw my first turkey and a few minutes later 9 more came across the corn field.

 They worked there way to me but stayed on the back side of blind. A few jakes came close but not to where i could shoot.  I think all 10 were jakes and hens.. saw no longbeards.  They kept walking to the north out of sight. 

 Had a short nap, called my wife and started to look around again for birds.  Nap made for renewed enthusiasim!! ;)

  Saw a hen step out of woods maybe 50 yards away.  Looked for something with a beard to be with her but saw none.  She worked her way to me and was walking in front of blind and I thought I would see what I could get away with her and was going to try and draw on her. Could see my tom decoy moving in wind a little and all of a sudden a longbeard steps out from behind my decoy at about 8 yards.

 I shot and hit him right where I was looking.  I watched him run about 40 yards and he was dead.

 Same short bow and arrow set up as first.  9 3/4" beard and 1 1/16" spurs. 

  First picture is set up and where turkey died.  Second pic is hen I had been watching.  And third is 
 about when my camera started to get water logged.

                  Lowell,  in Illinois still dreamin!!
