Default 1st Tom is down for the count!!!!

I killed this guy at 10 yards this morning, my 1st Tom. I hunted pretty hard to get it done in 4 out of a 5 day season here in Wisconsin! I was only able to hunt 4 out of the 5 days, just in the mornings, which was a chore in itself since I work until Midnight 1:00am every night and up at 3:30am out the door! I haven't hunted this hard in a LONG time! Feels pretty good! I did a little aggressive running & gunning for my last hunt for the Spring season, payed off big time! He was with 7 other Toms and some hens. They came off the roost and I chased them down. I called him and 2 other Toms up a ridge away from some hens!! I was on one knee with him and 2 others at 10 yards and picked out the biggest one...and BAM!!!!!!!!

24#
12 inch Beard
30 inch fan
1 inch Spurs!
