Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Dead Turkey and almost killed my truck as well.

I only had one day to hunt this weekend and ended up killing the smallest bearded turkey of my life. He's legal, but he sure doesn't have much for a beard. Of course I killed him to make all you other guys that have killed small birds feel better about yourself. Now don't say I've never done anything for you.

First photo is the classic, calm, pose with the bird type photo.


This photo is the "Got'cha you little bastard!" This happens after being duped by two very large tom's earlier in the day. Frustration was red lining when I introduced this bird to some SuperWammyMagnumAmmo.


This last photo is a major "Oh [bleep]!" factor. After I killed my bird I drove up the hill to see if there were anymore birds. Greenhorn is coming out this weekend and I wanted to see if I could locate a tom or two to look for. Anyway I was looking off the opposite side of the road as I was head back down the hill when my tire slipped into this wash out. My tire slipped in at the red arrow and came back out at the blue arrow. Had I been even a few more inches over I may not be typing this as that wash out lead to about a 300 foot steep roll to the bottom of the ravine. Darn near soiled myself.

Glad you're still around, no sense killing yourself over a tiny turkey. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Love that second photo, the same 'ol "hero" photos get old. With a little luck I'll see about spicing up my next pictures...don't worry, I'll leave my clothes on.

Spike, thanks, and in regards to the last part of your message THANK YOU, as I still have quite recovered from Muley Stalker's photo. Still have nightmares about that one.

What a close call you had there. Where's those guard rails when you need `em? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Nice bird.
