Re: Your favorite turkey story
Well heres my story. It was opening morning of Indiana's Turkey season and my buddy and I spotted some gobblers out in this big field. After a hour of sneaking we finally got set up. We had the video camera so it had to be just right. I called the birds for about 15 min before I got a shot. The first shot feathers flew and so did the bird a second and third shot didnt find there marks. I watched the bird fly over a small rise and didnt see it any more. I got up and walked over to see the bird laying there. I got with in 10 feet and he raised his head up. Of course I was out of shells and my buddy's gun was back where we were set up. I got a little closer and he jumped up and took off running and the chase was on. I had my gun and attempted to hit the bird with it. As many of you know you know you can not swing something when you are running all out with out doing a face plant. Yep a face plant right in the dirt. I got back up and finally got the gobbler subdued. Luckily for me the camera was left back at the set up as well so all of it wasnt on camera. Thats my story of stupidity in the woods for today.
