Way to go

Thanks guys! I'd definitely rather have called him up, gobbling all the way, but I was happy to carry him out of the woods. Five minutes earlier I thought I was going home empty-handed. And he'll taste the same either way. There's a breast marinating as I type this.

Wing shots count too. We all like them playing along while we play their game but sometimes it works out differently. Congrats on the bird. And congrats on getting to spend time in the woods with your dad.

Congrats. As a new turkey hunter there were two lessons that should have been taken away, at minimum.
1) the hunt for turkeys is never over until your in the truck ( and sometimes not even then) so always keep your Camo on
2) never walk in the middle of the road

Ill be the guy that speaks up and says what a few others here are thinking.

The essence of a kill is not just in a harvest but how the harvest is achieved. Crawling on a bird takes time and gives fair advantage to a bird. Calling one up takes skill in knowing how and when to call. It also takes skill to get the bird killed once his keen eyes are in range screening heavily for any movement.
Walking out and shooting a fleeing bird is a disgrace to the grand bird and I hate to hear of one being harvested in such a manner.
Just my .02 cents.
