Dang, sounds like your having my kind of luck. That railroad area sure looked good when 7Mag and I were there. The creek bottom you went to, is that where you and I saw the batch of turkeys? I need to get loose and get down that a ways and say howdy to ya'll.
Todays adventure to the turkey woods. 11-9-08'
Got the wife out in woods again today ;D.
She ain't been out in along time.
We went out to the creek bottom about 20 minutes from the house around 1:30 p.m. looking for thanksgiving dinner.
A.K.A. Mr.Tom Turkey.
1st on the list was to hit the railroad track aera and winter wheat field.
We found sign- feathers & poop all over from where they had been roosting for awhile.
Well some guys came around and shot a dillo...Time for us to bug out & head for Spot #2 on the hit list.
Got to the spot & headed for the woods along the creek bottom.
We walked in around 500 yards...When all hell broke lose...
10 turkeys about 20 yards out & heading right for us...holy crap looking for Mr.Red Head & after beading down on several hens.
I found Mr.Red Head about 25 yards out in some brush.
The county,I was hunting in wount let ya take a hen with a gun .
Back to the story...The bead fell down on the bottom of Mr.Toms neak & BOOM...Jellyhead action was going on.
Federal Premiums 12 Gauge 3 1/2" magnum 2 1/4 oz of #6 shot thought for sure it was a done deal ??? ???.
Well,all i found was 2 tiny blood spots on the same leaf but 15 yards from where,I shot Mr.Tom.
Even after the shot,the turkey just walked off mid pace & slipped away.
Not to spooky or did they seam shaking up to bad.
Next weekend It's a done deal for Mr.Tom.
Gonna leave the house around 12:00 noon & seat all afternoon & evening still,I walk out of the woods with Thanksgiving dinner in tow. ;D
