hognutz Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 This is the gobbler that my Uncle shot on Saturday, in Wi. The weather was terrible. 2'' of snow and 20-30 mph winds. We had 6'' of snow by Sunday. I didn't have a tag, so I did the calling for him and his son. He shot him at 40 yards with a facefull of Win. Hi-Velocity #6's, Hastings .660 choke, out of a Nova. Graveyard dead. I love this stuff..Mike Quote
DU4ME2 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Yah baby, that is the way to do it!!! Got a tag for next week.......can't wait!!:D Quote
hognutz Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Good luck to you, D.U. This bird was shot in Florence Co. The northeast part of the state. I hope the weather clears for you. My nephew has a tag for this Wed.>Sun. He hunts in the Green Bay area, and they are supposed to get slammed again today and tomorrow with 6-10'' of snow. This madness has to stop..

HH Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Awesome bird... I bet it is fun to hunt in the snow ,,, if they are cooperating. great picture what was the beard length 10" ??? Quote
hognutz Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 Just a tad under 10''. He was awful wet, so the beard looks a little spindly. It actually was a pretty thick beard. He weighed 18#, and had 1'' hooks..That's a pretty good gobbler for up there. They don't get real heavy..Mike Quote
tucker301 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Nice bird! We got one from our usual accessible by boat only honey hole this morning. My buddy killed it with his old 20 ga. single shot. Got a good setup on another one and I killed a couple of saplings with an ill-advised shot at a spooked bird. Quote
hognutz Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 Thanks, Tucker. Seems like we see a turkey in your boat, every year. You build a moat around your favorite spot? Good luck to ya the rest of the season..Mike Quote
BM4robbins Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Nice bird - your uncle owes you one;) I wholly concur. Some folks like seeing a successful hunt, just because. Edited April 21, 2011 by BM4robbins Quote
grayghostsafaris Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I think calling any game is the most challenging part of a hunt. Congrats on getting one in for your Uncle! Quote
