VT Gobbler down( with video)

[Steve Leffler]

So i was lucky to take a nice VT bird this am and caught the action on my small POV cam that was hooked to the side of my blind.  The bird was alone and came from a long ways off.  Once he saw my dekes he quickly committed and you can see he tried to give my jake a beat down.  He weighed 18 lbs 11 oz and had 1 1/4 spurs.  It was a beautiful morning to be out.  I took him with a Simmons land shark and my trusty BW.  I will say that I have had amazing success on turkeys using land sharks.  It just puts em down.  I used guru's string tracker set up which has worked great for me.  Luckily wasn't needed in this case as he only went about 40 yards.

Nice job Steve.....again! So the camera was on the outside of your blind? Hows that work?

[Steve Leffler]

Thanks everybody.
Greg I hooked it to the side window with a flexible camera tri- pod and just leaned it out the window.  I could just reach over and turn it on and off as needed.  Here is the hero shot.
