went out this weekend for some trout fishing and turkey hunting with my middle son.
floated the current river yesterday and caught trout,small mouth & Goggle eye.
then Around 5:30 after getting back to camp my son and I headed out to try to find some birds that if we couldn't connect on last night we could come back this morning for a second try. well for once things worked out well. heard a gobble and called back. next thin I know he's calling back and from the sound of it he was coming in fast. we set up and I continued to call, 5 min later my son put the smack on him at about 30 yards.
22 lb bird, 9" beard and short 5/8" spurs. we had a heck of a day yesterday. ;D

Congrats to the young fellow. hate to pop your bubble on this one but the gun is a Beretta Urika 2 shooting #6 Hevi Shot out of an Indian Creek .665 constriction choke tube . but I did use an old wooden box call backed up with a slate call to get him in close if that helps ya some.  |

btw that was the first turkey taken with that shotgun. I hope to have similar success with it in the next couple weeks. our spring season starts tomorrow morning but it will be next weekend before I'll be able to get out.
