Title: Green Swamp
Post by: charlieparrish on April 02, 2011, 07:50:56 AM

Finally got a couple of hours to hunt in between the Special Handicap hunts and the family in the hospital and the big oak tree falling on the house
It has been really wet here..about 5-6 inches on Thursday..I caught this one pretending he was a duck..gobbled once and swam right on in.

Congrats Charlie . Some kinda hunt ! I never seen the likes where I hunt . Though I did sit through a thunterstorm that dropped 2 inches in an hour one time . But , we couldn't tell by the woods till we got down the road . Water standing everywhere .
 My gun , an old 870 express , along with every stitch of clothing under my rainsuit , was soaked . Forend swelled up and couldn't unload my gun .

 That's some fine gobbler you fooled .

Way to go Charlie, You earned that one for sure.  Great set of spurs.  Ugly looking bird, but he will dry out in the cooking process.  *up*
