Friends, Gather Round!
Dear friends and family we are gathered here today to pay our last respects to the unnamed gobbler. This bird after considerable debate did this morning at approximately 6:55am decide to sacrifice his life in order to restore a bit of confidence to a troubled turkey hunter. This unnamed Tom along with his partner flew down then strutted at 60-70yds in Max’s shotgun scope for 20-25min. During this time this unnamed bird tried once to make his sacrifice. This attempt ended in snapped shell and the bird drifted back to his partner. After words of utterance and a sloooooooooooooooow pump of the gun the unnamed bird drifted back into range and Max’s ole 835 spoke. The load of Nitro’s did their job. His partner and his lady fled the scene in hast. The old warrior only weighted 17.5lbs had a 10â€

Dude, why did you kill my turkey? Answer: cause he got in the way of my sights! Great job Max. Now you can relax and enjoy the rest of your season.
