Today I guided Larry on a turkey hunt. We got to the hills and set out to find some birds in the roost and get set up. I blew the trusty crow call and almost immediately we had a gobbler answer and he was close. We snuck in to a small meadow and got our decoys out a began the waiting game. As the sky began to lighten the birds became more vocal and as the gobbler left the roost he flew down and landed within shotgun range but we wanted him closer so we let him come on in. He was drumming and strutting all around the decoys and Larry couldn't take it any more so he put the hammer down. It was a perfect shot and Larry was soon standing over his first turkey. The turkey was a real trophy sporting double 9.75" beards and spurs just over an inch long. It was a great hunt and I couldn't be happier for him!
