Although I've guided hunters, for some reason, I haven't spring turkey hunted in a few years. Maybe it's the stench of gutting them.... Anyhow, I kind of got the bug to get a Tom mainly for some meat. So, I wait til mid-morning, grab my little '92 Rossi stoked with the wife's .38 Spec Cowboy Action, and call and hie off north of the house.
Called for the better part of 1½ hours with nary a gobble in reply. Just then a heard a cluck from the last direction I expected turkey to come from. I slowly turned to find myself being stared down by half a dozen Jakes. They decided to leave about the time I got turned around and got the rifle up. Managed to nail one of them:
The meat is soooo good slow smoked that I may have to do this again next weekend!
