VT Gobbler down( with video)
« on: May 01, 2013, 11:38:00 AM »
So i was lucky to take a nice VT bird this am and caught the action on my small POV cam that was hooked to the side of my blind.  The bird was alone and came from a long ways off.  Once he saw my dekes he quickly committed and you can see he tried to give my jake a beat down.  He weighed 18 lbs 11 oz and had 1 1/4 spurs.  It was a beautiful morning to be out.  I took him with a Simmons land shark and my trusty BW.  I will say that I have had amazing success on turkeys using land sharks.  It just puts em down.  I used guru's string tracker set up which has worked great for me.  Luckily wasn't needed in this case as he only went about 40 yards.

Thanks everybody.
Greg I hooked it to the side window with a flexible camera tri- pod and just leaned it out the window.  I could just reach over and turn it on and off as needed.  Here is the hero shot.
