Old Bird Gobbled his last time
This old Tom and 2 others came in on the last day of MO Turkey season in '03. He Gobbled every few seconds from start 'til the shot. He went 24 lb, 1 2/8" spurs, 11.5" beard. I shot him with copper plated #4's and found several lead #4's in his breast when I cleaned him. The wounds were healed and he was fat.
Species:
Turkeys
Where: Missouri
Method:
Shotgun
When: at 07:00 am
Great bird Del.
Del in ks, Good to hear a story like that.I wonder what the fatality rate of wounded turkeys is?
Nice Bird sir!
nice bird!
Nice old tom!
Del,
I killed an old tom when I was in college in the national forest outside of Athens, GA. Even for the time a relatively heavily hunted area. He had gangrene in his right thigh from a #2 lead shot. I bet a bunch of the old boys die that way.
