I about blew the wheels off the F-250 yesterday trying to get home in time from Louisiana to roost a bird before dark. I Made it to the club in time but did not have an luck. I was able to pull most of my cards out of the cameras I had placed on all the clover plots before I left offshore March 5th. I had planned to let the camera do the scouting for me since I would not get home in time to physically scout. When I got home last night and went through the SD cards I had one gobbler on camera hitting one of the fields often with a group of hens. I head to that field first thing this morning well before daylight. I get settled into a tree line an make a little natural brush blind around me. I wanted to be hid good incase all those hens showed up. As soon as the song birds started to sing I heard my first gobble of 2014. He proceed to let her rip as the geese honked and crows crawww. I lost count after 50 gobbles. He was roosted about 150 yards from me so I felt good about my chances. I let him get on the ground before I ever called to him. He cut me off with a hard gobble. I hit him again with another sweet 3 note yelp and he hammered again. I got quiet on him for 10 min then I let out another 3 note help to check him again. He hammered again and was much closer. A few minutes later I hear Spiitttttdooooom and I know he's close. I turn my head slight to my left an see him enter the filed in full strut. I give him one more light cluck and a soft yelp and he struts 60 yards to his death. It was freaking awesome to see him strut that far all the while spitting and drumming. This was the madden voyage of my little Remington 870 compact. I'm shooting hand loaded TSS this year. This little gun is one bad light weight turkey thumper with TSS!! He's a nice bird at 20.2 LBS 1" & 7/8" spurs with 10" beard. Here are some pics. Last edited by Squeaky; 03/16/14 03:58 PM. "Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.
