Metolius buck?

I got him a few years ago, Paulina unit. He fell to my longbow at 14 yards.

We need to hear that one for sure.

I'll see what I can do. It is a good story, I will try to do it justice.

IMO turkeys have places that they like to roost and will return to that area unless they are bothered with or the feed changes. That said gobblers later in the season may roam and not roost in the same areas as they are seeking hens that are not setting yet. They can be here today and gone tomorrow, but when you do find one he is a lot more killable.

Makes sense. I occasionally see a group of toms, sometimes hens and jakes, every now and then a lone tom on walkabout.
