Yesterday was opening day of turkey season in my area. I was out at o'dark-thirty and ready as I put the gang to bed on Friday night and was where I thought I needed to be on Saturday morning. Well they came down and of course out of range. I spent the day with no shots.
To celebrate St. Patrick's Day I decided to move my position this morning about 30 yards to what I thought was a better position. About 10:30 AM some hens came out to the field followed by a gobbler. The hens went back into cover and the gobbler followed. Shortly the gobbler came back out about 30 yards from my position. My old Remington 2 3/4" 1100 with #5 shot and a 30" full choke barrel did the job.
Happy Brown Day!

Brown St. Patrick's Day instead of Green

Nice job!
Good for you for getting out there and doing it.
I’m down in South so I have until April 6 to get one this year.
Do you have Osceola up your way?

Here is the finished mount. Used a kit from Taxidermist Woodshop ( http://www.taxidermistwoodshop.com/ ). I have used their mounts for deer and have been pleased as I am with this turkey mount kit.
