Ended the season with a bang!

Post by TRKYMAN »

Woke up this morning knowing it was my last chance to fill a tag in Mass cause the season closes today. My father and I arrived at our first spot with nothing but hot and humid air. Left there and started driving around checking all of our spots with nothing but thick fog getting in our way. As were driving by the farm where my dad killed his bird two weeks ago there is a longbeard strutting in the same spot where my dad's was so we come around the opposite way and set up 300 yards across the field from where my dad killed his. A little yelping cutting and sharp purring brought this guy right to the field. He then proceeded to walk out to the middle of the field and gobble his head off. I was set up facing the edge of the field meanwhile he was coming in on the opposite edge of the field so I had to pull my gun back then face 90 degrees to the right while this bird ran in to the decoy spread. At 20 yards he caught me pulling up my gun to shoot and his only mistake was taking 1 more step from out behind a branch and he then proceeded to be hit with a load of #6 LBXRs and dropped like a sack of rocks. Big thanks to the Lord for a blessed season and my dad (spider316) for everything! 17.14 lbs 5/8" spurs and 8 3/4" beard. :old_glory:
