SW TN Opener

Post by norINhunter »

Was able to make it down to TN for the opener. We had a couple roosted Friday evening but like most initial plans they don't usually work out. My buddy swore he heard one a few hundred yards north of us in another patch of woods so we slid over to inspect and when we called (we played the hot hen tandem all weekend) and he fired off about 150 yds away. He made quick work sliding through the woods and when he got to 25 yds I couldn't take it anymore and let him eat a face full of #9s. Was a cool experience as it was my first handload harvest. Cant wait to get back next year and try it again.

Congrats! You were in my neck of the woods, what county were you in, or small town were you close to?

killing a gobbler at 25 yards with a load you put together is as nice as the first time you are able to call one in yourself.

congrats on a TN Tom :thumbup:
