North Carolina Gobbler Down
« Thread Started on Apr 14, 2008, 3:52pm »
I called in 4 gobblers today. My buddy Brandon and I each got a gobbler. The date was April 12 2008. It was opening day in North Carolina. I went with a buddy of mine that I hunted with last year. Will here is the story. We met at the arae we were going to hunt at 5.45 a.. We made it to the area we planed on hunting by 6:15 a.m. We got set up. We heard no gobbles on the roost. We had a single hen come feeding by our decoys at about 7:00 a.m. At 10:00 a.m. we decided to move. We were about to go to the west to another field but I got an idea to go to the top of the hill to see if the gobbler was out in the field we were hunting near. We got to the top and I see a turkey feeding toward our old settup down the hill at the field edge. So we head back real fast and settup. No decoys this time. I called on my Hooks mouth caller "The Impersonator". Two gobblers responded from up the hill. The gobblers moved toward us but were coming in behind us. So we turn around just in time. A clamp of thunder let out and they gobbled. I called my Primos power Crystal and then with my Hooks mouth called and four gobbles gobbled back. All of a sudden I could see all four gobblers coming toward us. Two gobblers got past my shooting lane but the third one stopped right in the lane. Boom and he went down hard. Then one of the other gobblers came back to beat up his downed brother. My friend Brandon lowered the boom on him. It was 10:30 a.m. when we got them. Here is one picture of my turkey I took. I was shooting a Remington 11-87 SPS-T with a Pentax Turkey Scope. I was shooting Hevi 13 3" 2 oz of #6's thru my Indian Creek BDS .665 choke with the(IWCT). I took my turkey at 40 steps. Brandon took his turkey with a Remington 11-87 SPS-T Super Magnum with a Carlon's Turkey Choke. He was shooting Remington 3 1/2" Hevi Shot(The Old Load) His shot was at 38 steps. It was a great opening day hunting with a friend. See Ya,Mike [image]
