Congrats to you and Yul. I've had WAY to many turkeys that I should have killed, get away, .....to feel very bad about shooting a dumb one now and again.

Our season opened Mon, and Mon PM I had a bird inside 20 yds and knew I was going home with him. I shifted my weight, ever so slightly, and that bird blew out of there like a quail. No putts, wing shuffle, bob and weave, he was gone........sometimes you wonder how you ever kill one.

Weather has been awful here...I did not hunt today.....and could have, which says a ton about how bad it was.

Again, good for you guys, hope you can hunt plenty and get action.
