    Default Spring turkey 2016

    Got out to "The Place" our cabin on Wed.....been doing spring opening chores and over winter repairs.....
    Thought I best get out for a turkey hunt....and my season ends on Sunday....and supposed to rain.

    Got out a little late....but my "secret spot" is only 1/2 mile away...as the crow flies, on top of the ridge behind the cabin.
    I like this spot as it's close, easy to walk to and generally get a turkey with out to much trouble.

    Left the truck about 8:00 am....only have to walk 100 yds. to the point of the tree line and start setting up.

    Brought my umbrella blind and chair.

    Sat down and hit the call with a loud yelp.....had instant gobble in return.
    Called for about 10 min. on and off.....seem he was coming right in....

    Two tom's a two hen came out and headed right to my decoy.....waited till they were in from of me..... shot the biggest tom of the two.

    Unless you're a turkey. Nice. Do you just pull the breasts or do you pluck him?

    I just cut out the breast on this one.....usually I pluck and prep like a regular bird.
    Saved the gizzard, heart, and neck per Moms request.....

    FYI.....This guy does it pretty much the way I do......
