..... On my smallest bird to date. So now Iam done turkey hunting till next year. I hunted big oaks last weekend and got this little guy to fire up, we moved on the same ridge as him and he gobbled a couple of times on the way, then I heard him walking in the leaves coming up this little hill, I like to set up just underneath a hill so they have to look over it. I seen his white head coming at me then he stopped and looked I couldn't tell if it was a Jake or Tom but had a 50/50 chance so I took him and ended up with the smallest bird I have ever killed 13 lbs 2.75 inch beard. Well as they saying goes he played like a big boy he gets jelly headed like one. Now to hopefully get the wife on one.

BO is tough for turkeys...hunted there 5 days, and no luck.


It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're flying with a bunch of turkeys.

Great job on the bird. As I told PB you know the old saying "Bird in hand better than in the bush". And they make great eating.

Good job nick, my place is about a mile east of Big Oaks main gate, lots of turkeys down there I just can't get the time to go down there much. I hope to get down there the last weekend to hunt.


Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Well took the wife out today and spotted 2 birds on an old road. We slipped a little closer and sit down, I started to call and they didn't answer, but I told her to stay ready they may come up the road. Well they came in silent but cut into the thicket and slipped up to with in ten yards instead of staying on the road. She got on them but never offered a shot till they busted us.
