Lucky Year For Turkey

[Darky]

The wife and I took these two birds this season at the same time. It was a lucky year for us and I don't think we will ever forget it.

Awesome score! Congrats to you both.

They both look like plump, healthy birds, did you have them weighed? And don't lie if the wife's is heavier....

No unfortunally my fish scale was on loan to a buddy who was using it out of town both beards were just over 8" her's had just under 1" spurs and mine just over 1" we stalked up on them for about a mile or so then came through the trees and POW I got a chance to pick out the bigger one as they were fighting over a hen.

Nice birds for sure, congrats.
What models of shotguns where you using? (always curious to know what others hunt with)

I was using a remington 878 2-3/4" semi and the wife a Mossberg 500 20 ga pump.

Nice birds.

And once again proof that you don't need 3.5" 2 oz loads to take down a turkey.
