Awesome bird. I think its been tough everywhere. I don't know if they've killed that many there since the year of the flood back in 2011. That's quite a feat to get one in there now from what I've heard.
Congrats! |

I remember when I first started hunting out there, they had killed 78 birds that year. Was probably close to 10 years ago. And that's just 8 days with 4 of them being lottery only. Now it's just 2 day lottery and 3 days open to public.

That's a lot of birds. Wish it was still that way. Sherb is one of the closest public lands to me now. I'm going to Indian Bayou this weekend. Still trying to notch that first bird.

Came back for last day. Use a pirogue to get across slough. Get right on top of one and he's hot. Hits the ground and BOOM. Another hunter shot him. Thought for sure after crossing that bayou no one would be around me. But...that's public land hunting. Still was fun.

Pretty gobbler, Seth.
Tote 'em out head first and you don't screw up the fan. |

Nice bird with some good hooks. My best bird had a 10 3/8" beard but only had 5/8" spurs. Always wanted a bird with some hooks like your bird. Gongrats on a fine turkey.

Man I honestly thought the turkey was still in the tree when he shot. Very possible that he shot him out the tree but you never know. He shot once, right around 7am. I killed that one the day before at 7:30 and he hadn't been out tree long. The shot was no more than 150-200 yards from me right where gobbler was gobbling from. Had another one still gobbling across another slough but we had to double back to get there. By time we got there he was gone. I was trying to get one for my buddy. He's never killed one. He was crushed yesterday when that shot went off. We thought for sure we had him. |
