Was fortunate to take 2 birds here in Texas 1 with my bow. Then 1 bird in Wyoming and another in South Dakota with my bow. Had an awesome trip to the Rockies with my girlfriend. Sadly I squandered 2 Texas tags..

Back to back years with an opening day bird on Alabama public land. This little Tristar .410 is a hoot to hunt with. Went out the night prior to listen for birds roosting where I ran into a big flock during deer season. Heard a faint gobble after I called in a few owls who were not shy. Got in early to listen the next day and happened to place that faint gobble correctly and was within 100 yards after his first gobble. The quietest subtle tree yelps from me and waited patiently for fly down. He gobbled on the limb for 20 minutes which is always fun. After I heard him on the ground I yelped a few times with some scratching. Few minutes later and a hen was in a full sprint coming by me. In tow was this beautiful gobbler. He stopped in a window and my 9.5 hand load TSS made short work of him at 28 yards. I’ve found I’ve been more successful without decoys. Best of luck out there this year. View attachment 1043835
