Attachment 40110What a rush! This is my first year hunting turkeys and I was able to put the hammer down on my first turkey. I was sitting in my "new blind" that I dug out of an exiting pile of wood, it was about 7:30 in the morning. Two females came in front of me, one was within range and calling. Shortly after I noticed a tom about 80 yards on the left with more hens. They actually started all walking away from me. Out of no where this other male busted out infront of me at about 50 yards. The two males faced each other, not long after the one male was pushing the other away as they were circling in front of me, getting closer (very intense). I lost sight of them on my right and I thought that maybe I wouldn't see them again if they went into the forest. On the corner on my right eye I saw one coming up and really close!!!! I barely had time to think, I slid up my shotgun and took the shot. Feathers flew, a hit. I watched him go lay down and expire. He his now in my freezer and I can't wait to head out again!
I'm also looking for recommendations on where I can get a fan mount done and/or where I can find a plaque (Ottawa region). Thanks
