 Decided to move to a new location about 4 pm and was walking down a woods road when this guy came trotting through. As soon as I saw him I squatted down and began to lip squeak. He went by me at first at about 60 yds. As soon as he heard me, he turned around and made a B line for me. I shot him head on at about 25 yds. with 3" heavy shot # 5. One less turkey killer roaming the woods.

Way to go, shotgun load to the face at close range can sure do a number on the yotes.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Bet he doesn't taste as good. 
 It's the time spent in God's creation with family and friends making memories that counts.

Good Job. Had two come up behind us dove hunting a couple years ago. They seemed to be heading for our decoys. Scared the you-know-what out of us and we did not even shot.

Funny thing about getting older:
Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to
see through people's BS gets much better.
