Hunting & Fishing Fl Turkey

[B.Bates]

Opening morning did not go exactly as planned. Had a game warden ride up near where i was hunting before the birds even flew off the roost, so my hunt was over before it started.

when out that afternoon and found better luck, slipped in an area where i saw this bird about an hour before hand, he came in looking for love.
