2020 Dead Turkey thread!!

[JTW]

Let’s seem them 2020 Thunder chickens!

Had a good stalk on this guy... saw him about 600 yards out in the field and eased through the woods to get setup on him. After about 30-45 minutes with a little calling, I could tell he wasn’t going to do anything. A 75 yard belly crawl across the wheat field was my only option.

But the hens out in the field we’re going to make it tricky. I had on old nervous hen come within 5 yards about a half dozen times. He didn’t let out of a strut from the time I first laid eyes on him. Finally, 2 hours in, the hens split and he raised his head up for his final time. I got within 20-30 yards of him and boom!

He was delicious!
