Title: Almost too close for hevi 13 7s...
Post by: strutstopper on April 17, 2011, 08:27:56 PM
This bird came in to my left when I was calling to another bird and he caught me by suprise. He gobbled when he was at 10 yards and it was so loud it made me flinch. I was able to get the gun turned on him when he went behind a tree, and this is what happened next.

Sorry about the bad picture quality, it was from my cell phone.

Im with you..i shot one at 12 steps coming right at me in a full strut with 3.5/ 2.25/ 7's. Dont like to shoot one in a strut but it felt like self defense. Aimed a few inches above his beard and right under his beak.. it was not pretty.  Turkey did not flop once.. :turkey2:
