DTC

Tagged out in MO! I had an awesome hunt this morning. Got on a bird that gobbled his but off. Once he flew down I could tell he and his hens were headed to a big field. I got in front of them and when I called he gobbled and so did another gobbler. I could tell both birds were coming in. I finally see a bird enter the field about 70 yds strutting. He finally cut the distance to 40 yards and I was thinking about ending it but was enjoying the show. He was in a field, what could go wrong?? All of a sudden he breaks out of strut and runs off. I was dumbfounded as to what just happened. From my left I see a bigger bird running in strutting. I finally got him stopped and let him have it. 24 lbs, 1 5/16" spurs, and a 9 3/4" beard. I will post a pic later today. Now if I can only get DTC Jr on another bird.

Unless I can get a Nebraska bird... I might be done.

Awesome bird DTC. Your bird scores 69.75. That will replace your previous high score. Just make sure you post a picture here so I can post the score on the score thread. Congrats

DTC

Here he is.

Pretty bird. Are you planning on hunting another state?

That is one good looking gobbler, congrats.

There is a chance I might make a trip to NE. Just depends on
my buddy's schedule.
