To top of an awesome 2012 season in FL and SC I blasted 3 in GA on Saturday. My season is over and I went out with a bang...I killed 3 with 1 shot! I was setup on one gobbling off property when I heard a twig snap behind me – a gang of Jakes and Toms sneaked up behind me. They came in as close as 20 feet or less. I couldn’t do anything till they walked off a little. So, they finally did (the way they came in) and then I spun out of my gobbler lounger as 1 of the Toms went behind a tree. I kneeled to 1 knee and they didn't get spooked. I guess they didn't know what the heck that thing was in the leafy suit – I took a shot as the Toms lined up – BOOM! They dropped and 1 Jake eat some Hevi-13 (oops - he was collateral damage). At least 5 (maybe 6) Jakes got out of there alive. I knew the lead gobbler was a nice one because he had a paint brush for a beard. He had 1+ inch spurs and a thick 9.5 inch beard. He weighed 16 pounds, the other Tom weighed in at 13 pounds and the Jake actually weighed in at 14 pounds. So, it’s been an awesome season that I doubt I will be able to top. 9 birds total; 1 in FL, 5 in SC and 3 in GA - a southeastern Trifecta! Now I can sleep in on the weekends! LOL
