Feathers are flying and turkeys are dying... 2013 Edition... Updated w/extra fun
Posted on 3/18/13 at 12:55 pm
Posted on 3/18/13 at 12:55 pm
DATE: 3/18/2013
TIME: 0720
STATE: Taylor County, FL
SPECIES: Officially an Eastern according to the FWC but killed only a few miles from an official Osceola County. Hybrid?
WEAPON: Benelli M2 20 gauge
AMMO: Custom Loaded TSS #9
CALL & MAKER: Clint Corder Osage Slate
BEARD: None?
RIGHT SPUR: 3/4"
LEFT SPUR: 3/4"
WEIGHT: 15.5 lbs
Great hunt, got within 75 yards of the roost and this gobbler pitched off the roost and landed 55 yards out. We played a little cat and mouse game where he strutted in an old logging road for about 10 minutes gobbling his fool head off. Another gobbler appeared between the first and myself. The first gobbler was having no part of this and sprinted toward me. Game over... From first gobble to flop less than 15 minutes...

My wife was just goofing on me about that too. I always look like I'm squinting in pics. I blame it on working in Radiology labs most of my life. All that time spent in dark areas has got my eyes all F%#&ed up...

I've been worshipping at the shrine of ol' Tom for a number of years now..
The sad part of the story is that gobbler #2 isnt a very fast runner and was nice enough to let me hand my gun over to my partner for a shot...
Crappy cell phone pic, sorry!

When I first saw the OP pic, I thought it was Tickle.

Most birds in that grey area are hybrids.. I've heard some people say there are no more TRUE osceola's left.. not sure about that tho.. Nice kill

I imagine the hybrid zone is much larger than the FWC suggests but with all the tourist dollars and hunting license revenue they are generating I wouldn't come clean either...
