Fun morning in a new area

[brockel]

Had a fun morning chasing turkeys in an area I’d never turkey hunted before. Worked down a ridge and got a turkey to gobble on each side of the ridge. Setup and had a jake come in first and put on a show. Wasn’t planning on shooting him so I just watched him strut around. Couple minutes later I see the tips of white feathers coming up from the other side of the ridge. As soon as this tom seen the jake he came running in. Both were strutting at about 20 yards and then started fighting. When they had their heads together fighting I figured I wasn’t going to pass up an opportunity for a two for one. Got to see 7 bulls and 2 cows as well

No kidding. I found some 3” 5 shot for wife’s 20 gauge so that’s what I ended up using. Only thing else I have is 2 3/4” 8 shot for the 12 gauge left from last year

Good stuff!! A double would be fun to pull off, especially since you got the show beforehand.

Very nice. Congrats. 2 for 1 like that is illegal here in Kentucky. Funny how states that different laws like that. Looks like you had a pretty good day.
