This bird was on the other side of the farm this morning strutting with a hen. He was trying to breed her but she wasn't having it. After the lightning and thunder started and a wall of solid rain falling so hard you couldn't see across the field I told dad. "I'm getting out of this blind and going to get the truck" he said that was fine he would stay dry in the blind with the camera ha ha (cheater) I knew I would have a chance and seeing this bird as I had to walk right through where he had been all morning. As I got the wooded patch he was near the rain subsided slightly but was still very steady as his girlfriend slipped back out in the field and proceeded to me. Never seen him but then I heard him gobble and see him strutting up over the hill. He started angling away from me and I decided to take the shot when the opportunity presented itself. So at __ yards I shot and he fell, hevi shot done work once again!

(Disclaimer you don't need to know how far he was he was over 40 and under 60 [emoji1] )

Congrats spit, one of the only things that kills my drive to hunt is a heavy rain. But if I'd seen em on the way out I too would have tried to kill him even if it was raining.

Great job man! Hey question...I can see it's raining in the pic, how did you get the tail feathers to look so full like they are dry and not wet?

He was soaked but not as bad as if you were to have thrown him in that pond...He came out of the woods into a lighter rain the heavy rain pushed him into the woods and I'm sure he wasn't strutting then so he prolly had em down and covered one another
