SE Ga. Swamp bird from this morning (4/10/2024. 20 steps with Yildiz TK12 with Sumtoy Choke, Burris Fast Fire III shooting my handload of 1 3/8 oz. #9 TSS. Gun weighs 4.25 lbs. and is nice to carry while running and gunning aka stumbling and bumbling.

I went down through Tennessee several weeks ago and south of Loudon, I passed a farm and there were turkeys all over the hillside off of the highway. Someone there is going to have a good hunting season. Great pictures!!

Keith, 67galaxy, shot this nice South Georgia bird with his Clabrough and Bros 8 ga. The gun was made in the 1870s, has 38" barrels, F&F, and weighs almost 15 lbs. He shoots 3 1/4" shells made by Milton Starr, 2 1/4 oz. of #6. Three mature birds attacked his decoy and he shot the bird at 25 yards. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/5PGUGsT.jpeg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/E140UpS.jpeg)

No spurs on that bird. Is that common?
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Decoys are for amateurs.

That's me! I use them on field birds. I do not in the woods. Different strokes I guess.

I do.
Here in MI, We get 1 spring bearded only tag. Designated hunts are only 1 week long for most areas.
Except where I live.
Here, I have from next Saturday until June 7th.
Plenty of turkeys to shoot at my place. They roost here most days. Gobbling every morning. In the yard, or the fields surrounding the house every day year round.
I'm not part of turkey culture, I just like to eat some every now and again.
Spring is a busy time for me, so I make it as easy as possible.
12, 1 1/4oz # 6's, xtra full, and go set behind the barn waiting for the fly down.
Again, we only get one tag, so, when you shoot, you are probably done until next year.
Out there doing it best I can.
