GOLD HUNTER

October 31, 2011, 03:53:04 PM Last Edit: November 01, 2011, 02:21:09 PM by GOLD HUNTER
Well guys after all the bad weather we had on Saturday with the rain,snow,sleet & wind it wasn't an idea opening day to hunt turkeys. We had a pretty day on Sunday which warmed up in the high 50's that melted the ice in the mountains. Last night it got down in the 30's & was calm & I headed out to a hot spot on the National Forest in the Craig Country mountains. Didn't hear anything at daylight so I decided to sit & listening & I heard turkeys at about 10:45am. Turkey's fed through the woods & every now & then they yelped back at me. It looked about 10-15  in this flock. Shot a bearded hen that weighed about 12 pounds & an 8 inch beard. This is the first bearded hen I ever killed.

The new old Remington 1187 that I had bought earlier this year and posted on here I was going to give it a new life in the woods, it made it's first kill today. I like to thank Jim Ward of Warbird turkey calls for making me a slate call over glass which was one of the calls I used in this hunt.

Hope everyone has a great season.  :icon_thumright:

Nice bird and the smile on your face tells a lot. Glad the shotgun did the job for you along with the new call.

Congrats on the trophy, Brian. That is a darn nice bird. Are you going to the taxidermist? I think I would have to mount that bird..Well done...Mike   :fud: :newmascot:
