Breaded/deep fried turkey breast nuggies....mmmmm good.
Storytime:
Hunted this bird twice (once with my son on first day on national forest). I also archery hunted this spot a lot so knew the terrain/roads well. From where he was roosted to where he pitched down and started gobbling i knew he was on a lower road than the one i was set up on and heading towards the point/bend in the road. Grabbed decoy and ran down the road to the bend. he was gobbling whole way down lower road with a thick clearcut between him and I. I cut into a Well pad w/ a pump jack on it. Standing there with my decoy in hand/ gun on shouder. Thought i had time to figure out my set up and where i was going to sit when I see a Black ball thru the bushes on the edge of the bend. I was busted. I could't move. So i stood still and waited to see what he would do. He ended up letting out a thunderous gobble so I knew he had no odea WTF i was but saw the Hen deek in my hand. So, knowing i couldn't raise my gun or sit or walk...i started moving the decoy up and down, putting its head down like its feeding (3 feet in the air mind you) and he instantly goes into strut and drumming...inching closer. I knew I had to get his head behind the thick end of the pump jack to obscure his view for a second to swing my gun. Eventually after 20 gobbles/ several full fan struts and what seemed liked forever but prolly 5 minutes with me dancing this turkey decoy around...he commits and finally comes a little closr to the jack...then his head disappears behind it. I quickly slipped gun off shoulder and turning it barrel down in one motion. The turkeys head jets up staring at me...with hand on pistol grip stock, i lift the gun one handed to shoulder...dropping the decoy with the other hand and grabbing the pump forearm of the gun/quickly flipping safety off. He gets itchy..starts turning back and walking faster. I put the bead on his head/neck and pull trigger. CLICK...gotdamnit, I must not of slid a shell in the chamber or a dry fire. Birds starts to walk faster before ramming another shell in instantly..following the bird with my bead i let it rip right between the pump jack head (which luckily was lifted up on my end) and the flywheel. You can see where some BB's hit the fly wheel (orange/grey spots of chipped paint). Not even a flop or twitch. My heart about beating out of my chest i had to take a pic from where i stood so anyone would have a chance to believe me. Of course, none of my hunting friends do. Not my biggest but the most exciting bird i ever got. Made me laugh the whole day.
CLiffs: You wont believe me but it was a damn fine day

Fuark mirin, can't believe it didn't run/fly away that quickly. What loads do you use? I went this past weekend but couldn't get two jakes to cross a creek and come to my call, still a fun time calling them even if I didn't get a shot.

Thunderous gobble sounds like something a HTC lady might do at chipotle immediately before urgently waddling off to the gender neutral bathroom and unloading a rancid poultry scented brown butterball that immediately clogs the toilet thus requiring the poor custodian to aggressively and ultimately unsuccessfully plunger the drain for hours on end with his chickenfoot live in tuscon 1997 tshirt pulled up over his nose

I used 12ga, Winchester #5, 3.5 inch magnum turkey loads. It's amazing how even little things hang them up. I've seen a short/laid down log hold one up before. It's a blast nonetheless brah, keep goin!

I hope to Christ you're not making fun of Sammy bruh. the rest sounds pretty accurate tbhAka DEMENTIACHAD

I read the title as Turkey teddies and expected a Turkish babe with spectacular breasts.
But tenders are a good alternative.*Simplicity is the key to life*
