Strut10 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'm hoping to have a good story by next Saturday.......................... Will be taking my little assassin girl, Pickle out for youth day. We did some scouting yesterday. Looking and sounding like there are some birds around. I'll have her run my newly readied 20 gauge. Between the Pickle and the gun, the birds should be afraid. VERY afraid....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wapiti4me Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hello Tim I had to re-register here. Anyways this is Colorado Bob. I've killed 2 merriams here in Colorado. One was a draw tag over by Trinidad. The other was an OTC here on the western slope. Both were nice birds. One had a 10" beard , the other was an 8 1/2".

He was a ways off...I'd say 250 yards or so.... he gobbled on roost a few more times, then flew down...I hit him with another series...GOOBBBBLLE!!! ok....gave him a couple min. then hit em again...GOOOOBBBBLLLE!!! closer....wow he is coming fast...I put call down get gun up...there he is at field edge...had a Primos diaphram in and deflected call behind me with my hand. He steps out and see the decoys, goes into strut and walks right down the gun barrel...gets to Pretty Boy and struts by him and when he clears he is broadside at 30 yards I send a load of 12 gauge 3 1/2" Winchester Long Beard XR no. 5's he drops on the spot. 10" beard 3/4" spurs 22lbs.

Tim Andrus Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Well 1st off had a great time with Al (Rhino) we have shared turkey camp many times together. And I'm going to tell you was a tough hunt birds were there ,but henned up badly. I was self filming outta a blind so I was at the mercy of the birds. Al helped me set up blind etc the 1st nite and we were excited for the 1st morning. 1st day- Had birds gobbling east of me saw some strutters about 125 yards out they just followed the hens the Wrong way! the afternoon was quiet saw 1 hen 2nd day - moved blind a little more east had birds gobbling but again lost to the hens. The afternoon was very quiet no birds seen or heard. 3rd day- Birds gobbling close hit the ground 80 yards out 4 longbeards and 3 hens the local bull walked thru my decoys and pushed them south . But I coaxed 1 bird to behind my blind , no shot and he flew across the river to 4 hens ugh lost to the girls again. Well he and the hens tayed behind me across the river so I figured if I kept him wound up gobbling he might get a bird o my side to gobble. So every 15 minutes I called he gobbled ,dbl gobbled. Well it was getting warm so I opted to open my east window to get the breeze next thing I hear is wings flapping and the gobbler flew within 5 feet of the blind right outside my open window Surprised us both to say the least but I went into hunter mode and pulled off the shot rewarded with great bird 8 1/2 beard 1-1/8 spurs Very happy to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
