Another one down.
Went out again this morning to a new location near the area where I bagged the turkey from yesterday. I was met with gobbling activityabout half hour before sunrise from almost 360 degrees around me from bout 10 different gobblers. My first set up was great as I called in about 12 young toms simillar to the bird I took yesterday. They kept coming in by trios and it was great watching them tryin to mount my hen decoy.
At about 0930, I decided to try a small clearing bhind my location and after setting up, I immediately got gobbles from three jakes. As the jakes came into the clearing, three large toms made their way toward me and began fighting with each other. As I waited to se which bird was the dominant gobbler, one big pissed off tom chased all the turkeys out of the clearing and began walking toward my decoy.
I slowly inched around the tree since he was directly to my right and as I took the safety off gun, the tom noticed memove and came out of the full strut and gave me just enough time to put his lights out. Since the turkey was so close to my location (10 paces), he went down like a sack of rocks. Final tally 23lbs, 1 inch spurs, and a 10 inch beard.
Sorry about the horrible photo, I need to do some thing about that farmers tan! Stink'n asian rednick...

I was sporting a trucker's tan a few months back. That was pretty funny.
