Spring turkey
« on: April 22, 2007 - 03:49:15 PM »
I got my gobbler sat.. This morning I called in a tom for my friend John. His bird was a little bigger than mine, but what the heck. It was as much fun as if I had shot it my self.  :grinyes: Our member and friend whitsend stopped by friday nite and brought pizza. He was hoping to buy that 70 barracuda I posted a few weeks ago but it was to rough. Sorry Dan.  :pullinghair: We had a great time and I let him drive my car, as I was a little tipsy! :cheers: Too bad he had to drive 11 hours.

Congratulations!!
Nice Tom! :2thumbs: How much did he weigh & what part of the country did you bag him?? People think turkeys are a dumb bird, maybe a Butterball,  :smilielol:  but try hunting one & you'll change your tune!! :sly:

Was that the new possible record buck all the magazines had about 2-3 years ago?
