The thermometer said "24 degrees" when I left the house at 4:30 this morning, however the little "temp gauge" I carry in my back pack revealed just how truly cold it was in "the hole", the name I gave the blind I built in a stand of river cane that lines the edge of a small slough. Gives new meaning to hunting "cold turkey".

Way to go!

Thanks Michael. Hunting where there's a good number of "biggins" helps. A little easier than the days when I was trying to figure out those LBL birds in west KY!

I bought a special freezer a few years ago Matt so I could store wings and various other parts until I could take care of them properly. I use wings for all kinds of things, from photo props to calling birds off the roost.

Great bird. You said it was 24 at home and really cold in the hole. You're dressed like it was 65 degrees. I know us Southerners can't stand the cold now.

Congrats.

Oh, I had a few layers under that wool shirt and pants Doug, HA! I was moving around setting up the tripod and actually getting pretty comfortable doing it. What you don't see is that brown plaid wool coat thrown over a nearby stump! Sometimes I think shooting your own photos is harder than arrowing the critter!

Excellant photo Mr. Logsdon!

Looks like a good size bird too.

For those who are interested the beard was 10 3/4" with 1 3/16" spurs on each legging. Don't know what he weighed, but quite a bit less since he lost all of that breast meat to my freezer.

You did a great job on the photo as well.

Turkeys are still a bugger for me with the bow. Great shooting with both the bow and camera.
