Title: 1st Kentucky turkey
Post by: dpowers311 on April 16, 2011, 01:18:13 PM

Opening morning 7:45. 11 inch beard, 7/8 in spurs that curve in like his toes point in not straight. Called him from the next ridge, he came down hill across a creek and up the top of the ridge I was on. I used a remington 870 20 gauge. ssx federal heavy magshok #7's. Dropped him where he was standing 35 yards.

Thanks guys.

It has rained like crasy this week and last night, the creeks are up but he still came across. most of the wet feathers are from the rain that started after he crossed the creek and on the way to the truck.
