Yep... I did it again...

Well Monday I went back to the range to make my final adjustments before season... On the way there I did see 7 turkeys on the side of the road... on public, that was cool.
 
Anyway made to the range and again had a great time shooting. This is how my "fine tune" of my guns ended up before I put 'em up 'til season. To say the least... it went extremely well. 
After a couple rounds downrange I was able to finish with this.

6.5 PRC @ 100 yards... I pulled the first round but sent the next 2 where they should be.
I didn't get a pic of my 222 but if you look at the first pic it is the top right 1" target with 2 on the top of the target and 2 higher.
 
After getting done at the range when I got home I decided to go out after those turkey's on Tuesday. I got up late, left the house late, got signed in late... and so on, you get the picture. Wait let's back up a little, when I got out of my car my morning coffee, OJ, and energy drink were all hitting at once. So I did what we do... I found a tree and commenced watering it....After a couple seconds of not hearing my urine hitting the leaves... and knowing I'm peeing.... I was wondering why? Well come to find out when I slung my chair over my shoulder and then slung my jacket over my chair... I was pissing on the hood of my jacket. Well I threw my jacket on the floorboard, rummaged through the car for a spare camo jacket and headed to "the" spot. It was a gorgeous morning and I was happy I had another jacket because it was cool. I sat down got ready and just watched the day start. 
 It was around 9:30 and I started setting an end time just so I wouldn't sit there all day, well I decided my end time would be 10 or 11 but no later than that. Not too long after I decided on that this turkey just walked by me on my right from behind. I was shocked.... I put the dot on her head and squeezed the trigger..... it was 9:42
Yep she was a mature bearded hen
After I got done cleaning my bird I decided to go duck hunting. So I got all my gear ready along with the boat, clothes and gun. Tuesday I was headed out to a spot I like, close to home, got to the spot, set up and waited for the sun. It wasn't too long before the sun was up and I had 4 mallards wanting to play, I chased off all but one. It was a great day.
That was the end of my outdoor adventure until this morning at 8:30 when my buddy called, said he shot a deer and wanted to know if I would come and help. Ummm????? Yeah!!! So I hopped up, put some clothes on and ran out to help with his deer.
The pic doesn't do him justice, he was a really nice heavy bodied 9 point.
