Well I had the opportunity to end my Bama season. I passed on what I thought was an unethical shot. I had 3 strutters in a food plot along with 3 jakes and a pile of hens. One of the gobblers started running a Jake right to me and in doing so got himself in range of my little 20. The only issue was all the turkeys standing behind him. I just didn't feel comfortable taking the shot and risk killing multiple birds. Those tss #8 leave a mark when they connect.

I sure thought it was going to pan out since I called a hen out of the group and she proceeded to kee kee and yelp non stop for 5 minutes looking for me. I thought for sure one of the gobblers would come to her calling. I guess the boss hen did not like how things were unfolding so she drug all the other birds out of the plot and left me the single hen. I stayed after them until 11 but never could get the fired up to relocate their whereabouts.

I have two roosted for tomorrow's hunt so we shall see how that pans out.

Good call. You will end it soon enough.

That turkey is dead and doesn't even know it. You made the right call if you didn't feel comfortable.

Definitely the right call. I some TV shows where it's certain they hit other turkeys.

No cigar this AM. I didn't even hear a bird gobble this morning. I called in two hens but no gobblers showed up. These 3 birds are becoming a challenge since they are so henned up.

I'm guessing #6 is dead and probably has like 5 beards a 1 3/4" spurs. Squeaky is just holding him back as insurance for the turkey contest grin

I sure wish that was the case Cole. I'm starting to believe there is truth behind getting the season ending bird. I'll enjoy the challenge and it doesn't happen I can't complain about my Bama season.
