Got my first bird of the year Sat morning.it was raning,so the wife just got in her blind,and I went to the river.
never heard a thing,just set up and called and moved and called.a hen answered and came to me.
then 6 more hens came in feeding and one struted and chased the others(yes a hen faned and struted,Wish I had the camera then) they cackled and purred for about 5 min.then I saw him at 60 or 70 yards.he would not come to any calls or purrs,or cackles. then I took my gobble tube,shooked it and her he came at a fast walk.stopped at 15 yards.the rest was history.

had to come back to work tonight,a coworked wrecked his car and is off work a few days,so I had to come off vacation to work for him!!![X(]

he had 10 1/4" beard,1" and 1 1/8" spurs, 18 1/2 lbs.he scored 61.5 points.
