I forgot to include my score. I calculate a slightly different one than you. 67.15. Am I missing something?
I have one more hunt tomorrow morning then I am done with my tags. My daughter has a tag which is legal starting Friday.

Thank you. I had to check the scale for accuracy after weighing it. Confirmed it with a gallon of water. I am guessing the IL toms still packing on pounds before fully committing to breeding due to the cold weather.

Boy they hammered it this morning. Heard 8 different gobblers, 4 on property I can't hunt. Started with this bird at 5:35 am and finally got around him at 9:50!! Woods really open. He has 4 hens with him and they are all coming from a creek bottom, slightly up the hill where I was sitting. Has a large finger that comes down into creek bed. All of a sudden, the 4 hens became alert looking farther up the hill. Then the runnoft,lol, around the bottom of the finger. I turn and look and here comes a dude. I waved and whistled and he started to back out but decided to try and circle me. So I got up and started walking right towards him. Be bails, but now it's 10:30, hot and windy as crap. I sit for over an hour, nothing. Decided to walk back to towards truck and stopped and called 80 yards from where I was sitting, and boom. He gobbled about 70-80 yards, twice, and then nothing. I skirted the ridge he was walking below. He's done this twice, exact same route. So guess who will be sitting in the creek bottom before daylight,lol.
I needed him to take bout 10 more steps forward and a few to the right to clear brush. Gotta love public land,lol. Best morning so far for gobbling.
