Opening day of the Sp23 Trurkey season in Missouri. I am hunting on a friends property in the Ozarks. 40 yards from the truck we saw a hen in the field at 300 yards. We hid behind a large oak and waited. Ended up calling in two hens, two gobblers and two jakes. I took the one Tom, a 23 pound gobbler with 10” beard. Both Tom’s were great birds and both are table fare as it was a one - two harvest.
A special day and my first opening day Gobbler. it was also the using the TriStar 12G mag auto my wife bought me a few years ago (my son-in-law works for TriStar).
