the 2011 turkey season was yet again a blast. getting started in february at the convention, i was restless for march 26! ( while there we won a turkey thug 835 was became a killer this spring after getting set up right)
i was fortunate to kill opening day, then the next and after that we headed to florida to try for an osceola. tuesday was out first day there..killed my first osceola at 5:35 that evening. it was an awesome expeience and i got it all on video..kinda. hopefullly i will be able to post it next week after editing. we had a blast down there hunting, fishing and riding out some horrible storms and tornados...they got over 12" rain that week.
after a week in florida we can back and i called in a big bird for a buddy at work, but he wasnt able to get a clear shot and held off. i killed my 3rd bird the followingg saturday the 9th. that was 4 hunts in ga..4 birds within killing range..3 hunts for me..3 birds down.
i later called my dads second turkey ever and one for my wife the last day of the season. it was a fun ride. i did more patterning that anything this spirng, but that was all fun too! i now have several options for my 835 that are all superb.
now for the pics..in order...
