First Day Success!

Post by CamoMan4025 »

Well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut. It was really windy here this morning in Virginia. I didn't hear a gobble where I usually do. I started to move around a little and no dice.....I decided I would just go set up at one spot and sit for an hour and see what happens. I got settled in and it wasn't five minutes and he hammered. I was using my new aluminum pot call and striker I got from RaspyD along with a new mouth call from him. I had my AvianX hen decoy and was set. He came in on a string. I took him at 38-40 yards. Rangefinder one time said 38 then 40...oh well. This is the first bird I killed with the Longbeards. They dropped him in his tracks. Yes he flopped, but who cares, he rode home in my truck. I used my 870 SM 3.5" #6's.

Thanks for looking,

Kevin

Notice how everyone rushed to congratulate the moderator. Bunch of ass kissers.



Congrats Kevin.

There are no numbers on any of my clocks below 8. Then all of a sudden, 2 days before turkey season they appear. Then right after the season they disappear.
What's up with that
