The BackDoor Gobbler 5/9/12
well my season is rolling ,i was able to kill a 27 pounder for the fouth season and paitenly waiting for the opener of the 5 th sesaon...me and jodi had the day off sence we both tagged out, we were just relaxing in the cabin and all of a sudden a loud gobble rang out up on the ridge right behind the cabin i was a little shocked how easy this would turn out to be, it dont get no better then this......my grandpa was up the week before me and said he had heard a turkey gobbling up there in the mouring well he was right ! i just walked up the trail about 50 yards and hooted at him to make sure he was were i thought he was ,and he was ......i woke up about 3:45 am and made my way up on top. i walked as slow as possible trying not to spook the bird out of the tree... i was able to sneek by him and set up about 45 yards away from his tree. it was perfect, he started gobbling right on cue and put on a great show! unforunitly when he flew down he was just out of range ...65 yards to far for in the woods, even for heavy-shot.....he just strutted back and forth. it was so green in there he didnt see my decoy and just walked off...i new right were he was heading so i quickly grabed my gear and ran down to the feild were i waited for him in my blind. it wasnt 10 minutes, i let a series of cuts and yelp and i heard a gooble and there he was coming right for me!!!!! he was strutting and gobbling the whole way in. as the adreniline pumped throught my vains, anything and everything went wrong ....i couldnt get the camera in the holder on the camera stand.....the camera wouldnt focus in .....ugh!! then i was so shacken up that i could barely call it was a mess , then when i did get the camera in the stand i couldnt manage to get it on the bird. but forunitly i was able to turn on my gun cam and get the kill on film.....i ranged him at 53 yards put it on him and sqeezed the trigger. BOOOM !!! down he went, i threw a 3.5 inch heavy-shot 6 shot load at him....he had no chance. my 5th season opening day jellyhead is down and im am pumped......

Nice job on the hunt and the editing work BH. What camera and editing software did you use?

Better software would be nice, but I think better camera skills would help the most. For example (I hope you don't mind some constructive criticism), when you pan left to right I would slow it down a bit. At times your panning made my eye balls spin. Just my two cents.
