April 5th, 2007 Turkey Hunt In Maury County Tennessee

Video of me shooting my first gobbler of the 2007 season. Was hunting early morning when we heard about 3 gobblers on the roost. Started calling with my diaphragm call as they got closer and started responding. Was pointing my gun to the left because that is where they sounded like they were heading. As I turned my gun to the right toward the decoys I saw the two toms running to the decoys. As I was moving my gun I think the gobblers saw my movement and started to turn. That is when I couldn't choose and had to take the shot. It all happened so fast. I wish I could have got some more footage, but overall it was a great hunt.

Nice shot, do you hunt in or around Yanahli WMA by chance? I will be going there this spring and I have only been turkey hunting once and haven't shot one yet.

I hunt mainly in Mt. Pleasant. That is south of Columbia. I've only hunted on state property a couple of times and that was with a friend. Get in them woods as much a you can and I promise it won't be long until you lay the smackdown on that big gobbler.

I know it. At the end of the tour of Mecca, (the JD distillary) they serve you rootbeer. How sick is that?
