    It's bittersweet everytime I kill a turkey for I love the hunt however this one was especially hard as our limit has been drastically reduced recently. But on the bright side I plan to spend more time in the woods with friends and family with them behind the gun,  which I'm finding is more rewarding than doing it myself anyways. Thanks for reading and good luck to all those still chasing thunder!

    Congratulations no better hunt than one on one (or two in this case). No blinds no decoys. That’s the way I was taught to turkey hunt. Great job.

    Dropping putts on a putt is a generally well kept secret. May not have worked on that spot, but I’ll bet it saved the area. Fine work man👊
