Today was our opener. After the weekend storms I didn't think we would have much going on, but there was enough. I managed this guy at about 7:15 pm.
He was 25 lbs even and had 1.5" spurs. I didn't call him in, I spotted and stalked him from almost a half mile. It was one of the most exciting turkey hunts I've had. I was less than 10 yds from him when I finally saw him but didn't have a shot for the longest time because other birds were in the way. Eventually, it all worked out, but it was a near thing.
Grandpa's 97 may not be a double, but it is the best Winchester shotgun of all time.
