:16:01
I went down and then
got a hold of them legs...
:16:04
and drug that old mule out on the hill.
:16:07
There was 114 warmouth in him,
warmouth perch.
:16:11
I could hear them a-fluttering
just 'cause I run out on the hill with it.
:16:14
The water run out of him.
:16:17
I could hear them a-fluttering in there.
:16:21
It was in planted pines.
:16:24
But he'd roosted in a branch,
the other side of planted pines.
:16:27
I eased into a row of planted pines,
you know.
:16:31
Planted pines.
:16:34
They're not exactly
in a straight row like that.
:16:36
They'll be, you know, offset.
:16:38
So you got a variation
about 2 foot, maybe.
:16:43
And getting in planted pines,
I walked across the rows...
:16:47
crossways to the rows,
till I got right even...
:16:49
with where he was at in the swamp.
:16:51
And I knew. I said, "Right yonder he's at. "
:16:53
I walked crossways to the rows
till I got to that row.
:16:56
I knew he was right at the end of it.
I was working my way in and out.
:17:02
And I slipped up there.
:17:05
I slipped up close enough to the branch.
:17:07
I could see the turkey in a pine tree.
:17:10
He was a-gobbling.
:17:14
I got to that pine, and I looked.
:17:16
It was about 30 foot over there
to that other pine.
:17:19
And it was about 25 to 30 foot more
to the turkey.
:17:23
I looked at that turkey,
and I looked at that open spot.
:17:26
I said, "There ain't no way
I can get no further. "
:17:31
I just eased that gun up
reaI slow behind them pines.
:17:36
And eased down.
:17:40
And, lo...
:17:43
there he is, right there. I think he's got
about an 11-inch beard.
:17:48
He hit the ground.
It sounded like a ton of bricks.
