I took Brenda hunting this morning and it turned out to be an action packed morning, As daybreak came We had Gobblers all around us. Once they started pitching down, I didn't know with way to turn.
We picked out a Longbeard that was with two jakes and I told her to take it....'CLICK'...Good thing we were in a blind...In a state of panic she handed me the gun, I jacked out the shell and handed it back to her, She took aim again and 'BANG'. Birds flew in all directions!!

All this was caught on video ! [up]

I took her back home and went out on my own, As soon as I got out of the truck at around 8:00 I heard a gobbler He was HOT!! I grabbed my gear and set-up in a patch of cedars. When I hit the call he double Gobbled and came straight at me, the next time he gobbled he had cut the distance in half.
Soon I had him in the video camera. As he approached I panned back to give me time to shoulder the gun and fire,, As soon as I moved the barrel he spotted me and started to get out of Dodge. I shot and ROLLED HIM! He flopped around for a couple of seconds and then got his feet under himself and took off !!![wallmad][wallmad]I couldn't get another shoot so I chased him but when he went over the ridge we were on,, he disappeared !!![wallmad]
I searched for an hour and a half and never found him ![wallmad] A great morning turned sour in a hurry!

We should have both gotten LongBeards this morning !

All these birds you get how do you prepare the meat?

A number of ways..
I like to bake the breast in the oven till med/rare then slice thin, place in pan and cover with Turkey Gravy and simmer on stove top till done, Serve over toast or as is .
My favorite is to smoke the breast meat, slice it thin and serve on a hard roll with fresh tomatoe from the garden and mayo. Yum-Yum.
Deep fryed whole turkey in a turkey frier is good stuff too, along with turkey nuggets in a pan.

Congrats on her bird...what happened in the blind was it a bad shell?

 

[gobblergetter]

what happened in the blind was it a bad shell?

I don't know for sure but I suspect it was because she loaded the gun as quitely as she could and the slide bolt wasn't tight enough since it didn't slam shut !
I also suspect, the bolt may need to be disassembled and the spring and fireing pin cleaned and oiled good.
It's a Browning Gold 20 Ga.
