After being away from the sport for 3 years I am back for good! Thanks in part to all the advice and postings here at Old Gobbler! Nothing gets the anticipation for an upcoming season going more than this sight! My new hunting partner, an old Mossberg 835 complete with Pure Gold choke (as per advice on this site) and I scored on two beautiful Wisconsin birds this season. My first turkey in 3 years was a 19# Jake that fell last week at 47 yards without a flop! My second bird came this week on a quick after work hunt. He pinned me down in a picked cornfield. Nothing looks bigger than a strutting bird from the prone position! He crossed between two stalks at 43 yards in full strut where he stopped and turned my way. My new mossy dropped him with authority! I couldn't have asked for a better way to get back into the sport! Thanks for all the advice and entertainment everybody!
