Finally seen a nice flock of turkeys this morning. It was looking promising... the were walking towards me, until a stinking coyote showed up. The turkeys decided to skedaddle. Other than that. Seen 6 doe a couple 6 point and an 8 point,2 squirrels and way to many chipmunks.

You didn't take out the coyote?

No. I had the shotgun loaded with 3 1/2" #4 shot. With the coyote at most 20 yards. Them big shells kick this ol' mans butt. I was saving my shoulder for a turkey. LOL But I did have a 22 for if a squirrel stuck around before I had to leave. But I wasn't sure if the 22 would have been a quick kill.

It is a Jake. Beard measured 6.75" And as far as the kick, your right. I never thought about it till about 15 minutes later. LOL
We'll have to wait on taking the son and wife out. Her brother passed this afternoon. esophagus cancer. But maybe get her out there to relax a bit.

My fall turkey display. Copper/desert camo paracord, 3 1/2" federal shell with beard set in and a few feathers wrapped in deer hide attached to the back of the shell casing. It's not exactly how I wanted it to turn out, but for never doing anything like this before, this ol' man is satisfied.

The boy is doing good in school, 6th grade, so for "reward" took him out for turkey after school yesterday. No birds. But by the time we were leaving, Mrs Squirrel showed up. So my son invited her to dinner instead. :)
