Yesterday's Weapons Forums

Me & LarryBob did the deal this AM & drove up to Crow Butte. Into the ranch we went & yukked it up with the land owner who told us to "shoot a couple dozen apiece - they crap all over everything!"

I backed in between some straw bales which were right beside wheat stubble. Lo & behold, there were about 25 turks right there giving us the fish eye. Loaded my lucky 1100 & walked around the bales to see one looking right at me - 20 paces away.

I put the gold bead on the "shoot here to void warranty" spot & down went the turk. LarryBob started calling me a slob hunter & other unkind stuff... seems I shot TWO but didn't see the second one. I was concentrating on #1.

Two turks - one shot - was out of the truck 10 minutres max - nice, fat wheat fed young turkeys... Life is good!!!

LarryBob grabbed his bow & took off. I cleaned the recently deceased & took my camera down to the creek for pics shown in another thread.

Here are my 2 beside my lucky 1100. Camo? We don' need no steenking camo!

....I are veeeeeery envious... ....sure beats yard work like mowin the lawn as I was doin.... ....larrybob is right-you got it waaaaaaaay too easy

That is some good shooting. I could go for some wild turk and not the stuff in the bottle.

2 for 1 and I'm stuck at home, I also find myself quit envious. Good shooting.

That sounds like REAL fun.

Lookin good Steve! That 1100 must be real lucky indeed- it's still got it's bolt handle. On grandad's 1100, the handle would fly out with each shot... we learned to pocket the bolt handle before shooting in less time than it takes to learn those things...

Been a while since I seen a turkey around here. I think they seen a couple of winters here, and decided to light out for the buttes of Nebr
