Well this is my first called in tom. My first bird was snuck up on. I had first season in wisconsin and the weather was ugly! Wed was 8 inches of snow. thurs was still snowing and school being cancled. Fri was bad because the snow had melted and then re-froze to make walking comparable to shooting a shotgun. Sat. was 25 mph wind and the birds were not gobbling. Sun was the perfect day and at 9:45 i let the hammer down on him. He was 21 lbs, 1 inch spurs, and 10.5 inch beard. Great felling when finally it comes together after bad conditions.
