Turkey Thread of 2015

I plan to experience turkey season through you guys and this thread. I just had rotator cuff surgery thursday morning so my season was over before it started. :mad:

After three hours of romping through my Hancock county woods, and hearing very little gobbling, I was ready to call it a morning. I stood up and looked down my power line to see two big gobblers with a pair of hens. They were 500 yards away, and putting on a show for the ladies. I stalked to within two hundred yards, but they never responded to my calling. I crawled to about 80 yards away in some broom straw and watched for about 15 minutes. None of the birds ever made a sound, and the Toms were staying very close to the hens. Making sure ALL of the birds were facing away from me when I crawled, I was able to get to about 50 yards from them. I got to my knees, and when this one turned, it was lights out. He weighed 23lb. 3 ozs. and had a 10 inch beard and 1 inch spurs. Turned out to be a pretty good day after all.
