well i got a turkey today. its not a great one but it was a nice sized bird. it only had a 3"beard and 1/4 " spurs. boy do they look bigger when they are only 10 yards away! 
. i got him at 7:40 am. i got in the woods at 6am and heard some gobbling early so i waited a bit and did some clucks and purs at first. got some responce ;D. so i did a combo od clucks purs and a few yelps. got responce. i had them ALL around me. this one was in a group of 5-6. i heard one single behind me but could not get him to come in but these ones came running in. so when o got my shot i aimed AND CLICK!!!!! NO BOOM!!!!! i dont know what happened but i had to SLOWLY eject shell when they went behind tree and load new shell. they moved around a bit and i waited to see if bigger one was going to come but they got alittle skiddish. one popped out and i took the shot and BOOM this time and he went right down! and suprisingly 2 stayed around!!?? i wish my dad was with me cause he would have had a shot too 
. i used a mossburg model 88 maverick with federal premiums with control wads. i did not get any pellets in breast meat!! the head and neck is another story.mas it is soo neatt to be able to call them in like that. it weird how some will run in ands some (smarter) ones will respond but not come in all the way. i could hear him in the field walking back and forth on the edge of the field. i could tell by his gobble and how the distance changed. well i hope others did better than i!!
