Way to go Gary! GReat story, that cane patch looks like the one I shot a bird out of last spring with a ghillie suit, if you remember! Sometimes just trying something will work out, even though the odds say it shouldnt.

Great story you would not have had that outcome had you stayed in the blind way to think and act it out. Nice bird.

Good job Gary. Nice green-up. It has stalled a little up here with cool weather. I hope to have your type of "rare luck" in mid-May when I drew a late season tag.

Great job Gary.  I loved the story and pictures.  Opening day today in Michigan I have to babysit in the morning but will be out for the evening hunt.

great example of thinking outside the box.

someone said and i can't remember who, "some of the greatest achievements were made by those who were too stupid to know they were impossible".

you can get caught up in a certain way of doing things. now for someone like me who has never hunted turkeys, spot and stalk would be how i would have hunted them anyway.
 
well done mate. your 1st pic is trad to the bone! spot and stalk turkey, no camo, recurve. love it!
BTW, your right. it does seem rare when everything is perfect.

i could do with some of that cane too

I just awoke and had to pinch myself. Yep, the birds still in the freezer, HA.  I forgot to measure the beard, nothing great but a pretty decent one. Spurs over an inch.  The foliage is green but looks even greener in those photos because the sunlight was defused by mid-day passing clouds creating an eerie glow.
