Shot my second turkey of the season this afternoon. First time ever that I have shot two turkeys in one season. I couldn't have done without being able to hunt until past noon and a big thanks go out to the two hens that acted as live "decoys". It's not very often a turkey hunter gets to "thank" hens.
The stats: Another 2 year old gobbler. 3/4" and 7/8" spurs. 9.5" beard. 18 pounds. 25-30 yard shot using my 20 gauge Remington 870 with Hevishot #6 shot. I first spied this gobbler just before 8am and I shot him at 2:53pm.
