KY Hen Turkey down!
« on: September 12, 2014, 01:13:00 PM »
Hey folks, been off this site a while, life has interrupted a lot of things. Got stuff lined up for hunting season, hunted hard, no shots at deer yet. I had stepped on a nail yesterday, off from work today, decided to go hunt a blind in my back field for a couple of hours, 11am -1pm or so, due to the moon phase. After an hour in the blind, I was rewarded with a 10 turkeys cruising into the pasture, and onto a meager food plot, about half germination. First time hunting this blind this year. I waited as they clucked, scratched, fought and messed around from 12:00-12:16, seemed like an hour, before one gave me a clear shot at 10yds. I hit her high between the shoulders, back facing me, dropped her right there, flopped a few times, done. Big ole hen, I would estimate 14# or so, my 18th trad turkey! I was shooting a #48 Quinn stallion, GT 55/75 with 100gr brass insert and 150 WW Elite heads. Good to be back in the field, after very limited hunting time last year and 1/2, makes me appreciate it all that much more. I hope I can get someone to post pics for me, KY TJ usually helps out an old fart like me on this. I just thought I would share.

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

Great shot! If it wasnt for that nail you would've been working instead of being able to hunt. Congratulations!

Hey Mike! Yep, hunting is the new homeopathic cure for punctures to the foot! LOL! Seriously, doing well with the foot, thanks for the reply!
