Another Virginia Gobbler this Morning - 05/09/14
In the woods this morning at daylight , he started Gobbling at 0620 and i got within 200 yards of him and set out my Hen Decoy and he came straight in . I had cows surrounding the decoy and i could see him strutting at about 25 yards, but would have had to shoot through a rose bush and was waiting for him to take a couple more steps for a clear shot and one of the cows seen him and run him back into the woods, i started to shoot the cow. I knew he had seen the decoy and i just waited , wasn't sure if he was still around, but then i caught movement to my left and he had circled and was only about fifteen yards and i'm Left Handed and had to switch to my right hand and shoot him right handed , he dropped right there. He weight 18.6 lbs, 10 inch beard and Spurs 1&1/8 inch's long. Encore with 12 ga Turkey Barrel and Winchester Supreme Turkey Loads # 6 shot.
