I’ve been hunting hard in South Alabama since season came in, and last week my wife asked me since I was done for the year would I take her up to our deer club in Marion Co and camp and do a little turkey hunting. My buddy N2Deer was up there and I figured we’d make a weekend of it. Unfortunately it rained all day Friday and all night Friday night. The rain was supposed to clear out about 7 am and then turn nice and sunny. We decided to stay home and get up about 6 am and head up and get in the woods around 9 and hopefully the sunshine would fire one up. We drove north and I talked to N2 and he gave me some intel on a bird he’d seen the previous week (nothing like some good buddies). I took her in there and hauled in a strutter and hen deke and put them in front of her. I’ll let the video tell the rest of the story.

We’re not dead. We just smell that way. Dayum. - AC870
Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22
All the credit goes to my buddy N2Deer. When we got there I was going to put her on the field by the highway that’s a planted power line because that’s where he seen him strutting. Brandon said he’d put her on the field on the back road because through the pines it’s not but a short walk, is way more secluded, and if he came to the power line it would be difficult to get him in shotgun range (it’s about 300 yards long). I trust him completely, listened, and took her in there and she got her shot. Thanks Brandon.

Happy to help. It was good to get to hang out a little bit. Been difficult to get our schedules together the last few years.
Truth. When we do get some time off together it's usually some bad news for a turkey somewhere. Thanks again for the help, you made her year with that one.
