... turkin' around Pumpkin Creek! Not a whole lot to tell - I went over to where I hunt to see if I could spot where they were going to roost so I could return in the AM, and on the way in, about 15 were crossing the path I drive. They had just come from the creek where they watered for the night.

I had wifey & preppy daughter along - my shotgun was in the back. So I stepped out with one shell, loaded it into the shotgun & had 2 options.

One turk was about 10 paces away, trying to get into a currant thicket. Too close! Another was about 20 paces away ready to fly - had its neck all stretched out. Good enough for me! I took the head shot & it did not even flop around afterward. No body damage at all!

It was smaller than my other possible shot, but the smaller bird will be more tender - I figure it was one of this year's hatch. Nice & fat! There's a circle of corn nearby & the crop was full of it - a few sunflower seeds, so it will have a good flavor. I like wild lurkey a LOT better than store-bought.

I'll try for a bigger one next week - in Nebr, you get 2 birds per license.

It was no big game expedition by any means, but dang, they taste good!!! SW

Looks like FUN!

Now thats hunting....a sweet ride, rolling with the women, pulling out the shotgun, and bringing home the Turkey

There is nothing better than wild turkey.

When I go to Wyoming I get to watch them on the neighbor's property but not on mine and the season come in on the 1st of nov too.
