Thanks, fellas. Geo, it was all calls on deck. The box turtle slate, mouth call and rivercane yelper (cane cut last woodcock season). Everything but the washboard on my chest and the cymbals between my knees were used. Harmonica replaced with rivercane yelper in chest holder. Gil

yes, yes! death to awl grouse an quail egg destroying varmints!

Great job Gil!

Way cool Gil! Harry and I are having a rematch on Saturday with the ones we missed last Saturday. Sherwood found the ones we were after last year and I have never seen two turkeys fly so fast.

Congrats on the double, Gil! I don't believe I've ever seen a double taken with a single shot .410 before; that's quite a feat!

Here is one I got yesterday with the SxS 20 gauge Yildiz. I called to him with a mouth call and the Rivercane from my initial setup on him, but he rejected me and went the other way. I made a circle and set up a second time and used a glass call that my son in law made for me. He liked that one and came to check it out.

That was my fifth AL bird this year, so that is the limit and I am done as a shooter this season. I'll still be calling to them, but will have to let someone else shoot. Good hunting to all of those still at it. The turkey hunters close out this very interesting thread each year.

Steve, nice hooks on that bird! Steve, from start to finish on the pair was an hour and fifteen minutes. They came in with a hen and were behind large trees. The first one stepped out inside 30 steps and I shot. The other was still behind a tree. When the first bird dropped, the second darted out confused and was about to hightail it when I fast cut and he stopped and his head shot up and I shot. Between the first and second bird, I was able to reload without spooking the second as he apparently was confused and distracted by his buddy dropping without a flop. He was 32 steps out when he fell. Rather be lucky than good. Gil

Mr. Coosa, that is a very nicely composed photo of your double and a very nice gobbler. It seems like my pictures are all afterthoughts usually done on the back porch after I get home. Well done, sir...Geo

Geo, Dave Owens (youtube "Pinhoti Project") has a recent video on composing photos. Big thing he stresses is opening wings up and straightening feathers. He shows how to do it. Steve did a great job from start to finish on his bird. Gil

Son John and his buddy killed two this morning. Pic is John and his bird...Geo

Geo,
That looks like the quintessential "hunter and game" picture, very well done!
