View attachment 207518My buddy Brian and I had a good morning. I took a gun for the first time in Ohio. I took a 410 loaded w TSS. Killed my bird stone dead at about 40 yards.

It looks like you scalped your bird's neck?

Heck yes. I’ve prided myself my entire life for not being one of those guys that runs up and takes a beating from a flopping bird. The bird I shot dropped and did not wiggle a feather. Five or ten minutes after we shot our turkeys he suddenly started flopping around. He was about to bounce right off the hill so I stepped on him. And of course he jerked himself bald. And beat me silly.

Since I am a smart ass, I was also wondering about your pose? Did he hurt your knee when he was flopping?

Nope. My knee and joint issues have nothing to do with the turkey.
