My daughter had to work on Thanksgiving and missed the big dinner with all the family so we had planned a Sunday dinner for her. Well life and work got busy and I didn't get the bird pulled out in time to thaw yesterday. I had planned on going turkey hunting this morning so when I left I told my wife I would bring back a fresh one. She rolled her eyes like yea right!

Sorry had to finish up dinner. My morning didn't start off the greatest. I started off hunting where I had help a friend kill his first bird last week. Didn't see any fresh sign other than a few monster muley's bucks chasing does. I went into a area that I got my bird last year. I hadn't been seeing many birds in there this year so I wasn't too hopeful. I went to do a quick check to see if any birds had been using the area. The plan was to do a quick check to for tracks and go try to jump some ducks. My partner stayed at the truck while I did a the check for tracks. To my surprise I seen three turkeys feeding in a old dry pond under some Russian olive trees. They were feeding in a direction that I new right where they were headed. I gave a quick sprint to cut them off. One came out right were I thought. As soon as it when behind a big sage brush bush I drew and the arrow went right where I was looking. The bird went down right away. My hunting partner was a little surprised to see me coming back with a birds 10 minutes after leaving!
