The .410 barks again!!!!

Post by 2Shooter »

The ATI .410 barks again in Tennessee!!! Got in super close to this ole boy while he was strutting for a hen in a pasture on the edge of the woods. Yelped to him real low, and got him to strut towards me about 20 yards before I could see his head to get a shot. A deer started blowing, and made him stick his head up even more, and the little .410 barked while he was at about 30 yards, and down he went. 20 lbs 2 ozs, 1” spurs, and 9 1/2” beard. In 40 years of turkey hunting this is the thickest beard on a turkey I have gotten!!! The pic doesn’t do it justice, because his beard was still wet from being in the wet grass!!

Steve, you're getting close to wrapping up a fine season. As much as you've been, sometimes the end is merciful and the resumption of regular sleep is a welcomed blessing. ;) Gil
