 We are waiting for the wonderful Mrs Boyd to take some better pictures but I wanted to give a big shout out to my boy and my buddy Jon Boyd for a great day in the turkey woods. We were out of the house at 430 am and on the road. Met up with Jon and snuck into the blind about 530. We had hens roosted not 100 yards from where we were and had a great hour long show during the morning when one of those hens beat the living snot out of one decoy for over an hour. We moved around a bit during the day knowing we would be back on this field in the afternoon. No luck getting birds to gobble for us and we were back in the blind at 11am for the afternoon sit. It was hot and quiet and no birds were sounding off. About 3pm Jon decides to try and put us on a bird and we decide to try and do some walking and locating. As soon as he steps out of the blind he freezes and is at a stand off with a long beard that is only 40 yards away and never made a peep. Jon is able to sneak back in the blind and we get Dylan in position to shoot. The bird closes the distance to about 30-35 yards and is acting spooky. We give Dylan the green light and the gun sounds off. Ole Mr Big is down for the count. What a wonderful day in the turkey woods. Could not be more proud of my boy or thankful to my friend Jon Boyd. |

Great job Dylan! Look at that beard! He is a monster. Glad you had fun. I'm going to be framing one of these for our hunting room.
