Fall turkey down

[fratri]

I went out this afternoon for a quick turkey hunt. I planned on walking the farm hoping to spot the birds before they spot me and then sneak up for a shot. As I reached the farm and began my walk it started raining which is a good thing (makes sneaking up on birds easier)....I walked for about 30 minutes before coming across these birds...
My first 20 minutes or so was walking the corn edge around the farm.... Didn't see anything so decided to walk in the bush and check out the cut bean field on the other side. As I reached the edge (20yds) from the bean field (while still in the bush) I hear the turkeys talking to each other. I sneak in and from about 5 yds in the bush looking out into the bean field I pick the biggest bird I can see. I line it up and take the shot... Fall turkey season comes to a close, now on to bigger things

Nice one, congrats! Not much turkey hunting opportunity in my area unfortunately, it closed oct 15th while I was deer hunting. I’d like to get down south of us one of these years and try and nab one, I always see them in the Slocan valley in the fall when I’m heading south on a day trip I do each oct or nov.

Fall turkey out of the way, now you can get on to bigger things like coyotes. Nice bird Frank.

Yes, no beard or spurs on this one.... It's a fall bird. You can shoot either ###, this bird was this years crop...
No how it played out pictures on this one

I knew that was a possibility, hence the ask.
