We got one today...

We got one today........It was pouring rain all morning. We got to the farm today at 6am. The rain poured. Napped and sat in the truck until 10am when the rain finally stopped pouring. My partner and walked into the upper field and about 10 yards in, he spotted a nesting turkey at the lower end of the field. We both ducked and he crawled through cow and horse sh@t to a feed barrel using it as cover. Once he reached the barrel unseen, he proped himself over the top and when the gobbler raised his head, the gun roared and the turkey dropped. He took the turkey at 70 yards! We used the range finder to verify the distance and I was totally impressed.

Nice 10" beard and a good 25lb turkey. We cleaned it up and had it on the grill within 4 hours. Total hunt time; 10am to 10:15am. We called it a rainy day after that and we'll hit it again in morning. It's the last day of the season so I'm hoping to get a shot at one.
