Went for a quick turkey hunt this morning , was a little late getting to the turkey ground blind . Some big toms showed up about 3 minutes after I got there . One shot with a 17 cal hit right at the base of the neck , no meat damage at all . Everything worked out good this time .

No , it tells a quick story . I was out hunting , hiked 2 miles for that hunt . I was already carrying a rifle , drink and binos . Did not need the extra weight of a camera . No phone . Sorry , I figured most people know what a turkey looks like .

Can't tell you the last time I walked two miles, but my imagination works great bet it was a fine Bird.

I think hiking while hunting [ to help keep in shape ] is much more fun than just walking around the local park . The 17 cal WSM worked as I had hoped it would . It hit hard right at the base of the neck and broke the neck . The luck part was the timing and hitting the moving bird right where I wanted to without ruining any meat . Some of you must hunt turkeys with a rifle and know how a moving bird can ruin the shot . To me there is nothing worse than ruining half of the breast .

Great story! Pretty bird!
If you look back over your life are you fully satisfied you pleased the Maker of Creation. Are you fully assured that you have trusted in His Son, Jesus Christ, for your salvation. Are you confident that you have a definite hope of going to Heaven?
