Weather has been beautiful, until yesterday.
Cool, rain, cloudy..ugh. So I took a friendly pilot to the range for a day of shooting rimfires. A fun day of shooting. During our 100 yard event, a turkey or two walked out onto the range at about 150 yards...girls, no tom's. Got my call from the car and called in a gobler from 200 yards away. Got him with in a few yards of the benches. Use my mouth version of a hot hen and got many full displays. About a 9" beard. Season is in now but no rifles allowed- and it wouldn't have seemed sporting to ace him with a range rifle. Didn't know it but one of my brothers was turkey hunting about 400 yards away. talked to him last night, he saw nothing! nice day at the range. Anyone hunting these dumb birds??? |

Damned things are everywhere here. Yard, roads, parking lots.....just so long as they stay out of my grill. Hear they taste like chicken though and it's only .29 cents a pound, so I save my ammo.

I took a video of it. This is a screen shot. He gobbled quite a few times and was strutting and dragging his wings. All this with shooting going on all around. Thanks for the fun day Bear. DD ------------- Endeavor to persevere. |
