    Default Turkey Footage

    This is a poor attempt but I went through the trouble of filming it and uploading it so I figured Id share it. We werent hunting out of a blind so it was a little squirly. You can see the bird going in and out of strut in the field, he gobbles a couple times. Eventually hes on the left side of the screen and gets the wop put on him. 15.5 lbs 9 3/4" beard, 3/4" spurs.

    This is from opening day, myself and a buddy put his wife on her first bird. It was just a jake and it only took me about 100 yards to run it down but i died none the less.

    haha, thats kinda what i thought too
    Man and other animals were first vegetarians; then Noah and his sons were given permission to eat meat: “every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you” Genesis 9:3

    "A man may not care for golf and still be human, but the man who does not like to see, hunt, photograph or otherwise outwit birds or animals is hardly normal. He is supercivilized, and I for one do not know how to deal with him." Aldo Leopold

    It would have been even funnier if there was some footage of me trucking it across the field after him. I was filming, after the second shot, I dropped the camera and at that point slung a few hopeful shots at 60 + yards. The bird was hit bad enough not to fly but not bad enough to fold up. To top it off the girl that shot it is 8 months pregnant. Heres the beast.
