[QUOTE="tjones96761, post: 1109656, member: 8955"] My first actual spring turkey. I've put the sneak on some, and rifle shot a few in the fall. I decided I was going to hunt by myself this year. With the addition of my 2 month old son to the family I didn't get started at season open. I bought a slate call, decoys, seat/vest, and that new gun-slate holder last week. Finally get a nice evening, not too windy, not raining, all honey-dos are up to date yesterday after work. about 6:15 I slip out to the garage, camo up, and break out all my new toys. hop on the 4 wheeler, slip down to the creek bottom below the house about 1/2 mile. 6:30 I drop my gun and vest at the tree I'm gonna lean against and unload the decoys. struggle with the stake-pivot thingys and get 3 very generic looking styrofoam dummies set up at about 12 yards. get my seat arranged all comfy and start trying to figure out this slate holder. gun laying in my lap, no gloves, no mask, slate still in my pocket, and I hear drumming. There is a lone tom bee lining in down the treeline to my 3 oclock staring straight at me. I get that "oh ****" feeling, and freeze. he drums around a bit and I'm inching my gun up slowly. he gets behind a couple trees at my 2 oclock, and I get my gun to my shoulder. At this point I felt like it was a done deal, all but pulling the trigger. I watch and admire while he struts and strums, I can clearly see he is a mature bird with a decent beard. he comes within about 5 yards of my decoys, directly at my 12 oclock, about 15 yards out, and I'm starting to fear he might spook. I drop the hammer and it's all over. I'm like the Turkey Whisperer. Less than 10 minutes from start to boom and I never even got my call out of my vest. 8 1/2" beard, 3/4" smooth spurs. I forgot to weigh it because I'm a noob. [attach=full]75531[/attach] [attach=full]75532[/attach] [attach=full]75533[/attach] [/QUOTE]
