Shortly after taking this photo, I heard a gobble in our pasture in the rear of this frame.

I looked over that little white lawn mower shed and saw what looked like an ostrich walking towards us.

It was, in fact, a big ass turkey.
I told everyone not to go anywhere and I sprinted into house for my 12 gauge.

I grabbed my trusty old shotgun and a couple of shells and ran back down to the yard.
He was out of sight, but gobbled again behind my shop.

Using my shop as a screen, I ran down there and poked around the corner to see him just about to hop the fence to the neighbor's pasture. I put the bead on his head, the way the good Lord intended, and sent some shot his way.

I happened to be wearing my Sunday finest that I'd recently received from Field Ethos/Ministry of Defense...the Archer shirt.
I should have posted this in the clothing section haha.
Perhaps not as cool as negotiating a trade of arms for diamonds, but it was a nice afternoon surprise.

Thank you Charlie.
I haven't seen my mom in four years, and she was sitting in the yard reading my FE articles online and giggling.
Hope you had a good day.

I applaud this execution of said gobbler on Mother’s Day as a “Real Men of Genius” FE Style moment. Well done good sir!

Thank you for the kind words Rob!
It was the only time I have tried to control the turkey flop so it didn't spray blood on my white shirt haha.
We had a great day, dude. Glad your mom enjoyed the print journal. Someone mentioned your "Dinner with a Schmuck" article the other day and the fact that the guy hand-loaded his buddy's ashes into his African rounds.
Solid thread and Mother’s Day fun!
A pair of sandals would have really rounded things off incredibly well. Haha
