This season has been a bit of a grind at times after I missed a longbeard on 4/20. Went looking for a bird I called in a few mornings ago but he didn't talk yesterday and I was starting to get a little discouraged. With some sporadic calling using both my mouth calls and Manzano Madness slate and scratch box, I started hearing popping to my right. In preparation for the morning hunt, I carried a pair of pruning shears and spent close to 40 minutes building myself a ground blind before the sun came up. Two jakes popped up on my right side and came as close as 6 yards. Fortunately, I put a lot of branches there and they didn't see me as they made their approach towards my hen decoy I placed downhill about 15 yards away. As they crossed behind a big ponderosa, I got my grandpa's little .410 up and aimed in their direction. I waited for them to separate, and I let the antique little shotgun ring out. I fulfilled one thing I wanted to accomplish this season and that was to take a turkey with my grandpa's little shotgun. This was my 34th turkey I've taken and although it's definitely not the biggest one I've taken, it was special to do it with my grandpa's gun. Now it's after a longbeard for the last few days of the season. #springturkey2024 #turkeyslayer #manzanomadness #hsstrut #federalpremiumtss #tss #teamrealtree #wardswesternfield #410 #turkeyassassin #turkslayer #primos #turkeyhunter

Well Dark geese is over until August... But not before they gave me 1 last present for my efforts in the bitter cold. Quill Lake Down!!! At -37. Asked 7 people to hunt. They were either Ice Fishing or Scared of the cold. Couldn't believe my eyes when I had a 3 pack of Quills Cup up in my face. Crippled the first and was like a dog that breaks. Was out the blind before the wad hit the ground 😂😂 One Hunt I'll remember for the rest of my life. Alls thanks to the @divebombindustries V2As and V2Fs!

Late season turkey is always a grind but in my several years hunting these dinos this was the toughest week I’ve ever had. Not sure if it was the extra pressure from a shorter season or something knocking down the numbers but this was a real Silent Spring for us. What few gobblers we saw were mostly either henned up or not interested and they were all spooky. After I blew at least one bird we called in close by fidgeting, we were having some distinctly hard luck, before I finally got unreasonably lucky on my jake. Glad I had these dudes to keep my spirits up (as usual, no selfies of me). #turkey #turkeyhunt #turkeyhunting #nwtf #nationalwildturkeyfederation #wildturkey #wildturkeys #springthunder #morningthunder #gobblegobble #gobbler #federaltss #federalpremiumtss #tungstensupershot #bha #backcountryhuntersandanglers #publiclandowner #keeppubliclandsinpublichands #publiclandhunting #merriamsturkey #merriamturkey #merriams #turkeygrind #silentspring #lateseason #lateseasonhunt #lateturkey #huntwashington #huntingwashington #thunderchicken

Nothing beats a last day jake! On the drive home from a 5 day hunt I saw this 2 year old with a group of about 15 buddies in a gully. Managed somehow to put a stalk on from the edge and hit him from at least 60 yards- TSS through a Carlson choke is bad medicine. Couldn’t have worked out better. Gotta love Hail Marys and luck. #turkey #turkeyhunt #turkeyhunting #nwtf #nationalwildturkeyfederation #wildturkey #wildturkeys #springthunder #morningthunder #gobblegobble #gobbler #federaltss #federalpremiumtss #tungstensupershot #bha #backcountryhuntersandanglers #publiclandowner #keeppubliclandsinpublichands #publiclandhunting #merriamsturkey #merriamturkey #merriams #thunderchicken
That’s a good feeling. This was my first time going after spring turkey since my ol huntin buddy and mentor passed in 2010. Get you some Dave Smith Decoys and you don’t even have to be a good caller! Federal Premium TSS f-f-folded him. Called for myself with no blind. Gonna try with a bow 5th season. @davesmithdecoys #federalpremium #federalpremiumtss #springthunder
Congratulations on a great bird, Brett! #hivizsights #seewhatyouvebeenmissing #turkeyhunting Repost from @thefowllifetv ・・・ “I have seen many turkeys hit the dirt over the past ten seasons! Never have I seen more devastating and ethical results in patterning and consistency then with the Benelli mixed with Federal Premium TSS added together with a HI VIZ Sight and presented by a Rob Roberts Turkey Choke! Absolutely Legit!” ——Brett Cannon, Eastern Wild Turkey harvested in the Bluegrass of Kentucky! @brett_cannon #benelli #simplyperfect #federalpremiumtss #hivizsights #robrobertscustomgunworks #realtree
Coming out a little bit heavier? No, coming out a little bit BETTER. • After chasing these birds for over a decade, each hunt, win or lose, we learn something. This season especially, although we’ve had success, we’ve learned a ton about positioning, set-up and hunting in heavily pressured areas. These are all lessons that we are thankful for and are looking forward to applying in the future...
Thank you sir for your service. I appreciate all of your beautiful colors! Hunting can be an ebb and flow of emotions. I was so glad to see you come in and show off all of your worth and strut in all your beauty and yet the downside right after the trigger was pulled, I didn’t feel that great, I felt bad and sorry, as I’m not here for just the kill. It’s being in the woods before the sun comes up, the “stillness” is my favorite part and then the woods start to come alive!Thank you sir once more and you will not be forgotten. #turkey #turkeyhunting #getoutside #federalpremiumtss #federalorpremium #nature
Can’t leave everything to chance. That’s if I can keep from dropping the bead and pulling my shot. #turkeyseason #turkeyseason2020 #federalpremium #federalpremiumtss

I think this would be a great option for the tiny tikes! Since my fun sized children will probably be 4’ tall and 40lbs until their at least 15 😂😂 #indianadnr #.410 #turkeyhunting #tungsten #federalpremiumtss #youthhunting #indianabha #backcountryhuntersandanglers
