We're on the board fellas! I got one at 10:00 on the dot this morning. I'll try to get the pictures on here tonight. 9" paintbrush beard, inch long spurs, and weighed 19.4 lbs. Not huge, but its a turkey. He was missing about 6 or 7 tail feathers, kinda upsetting that he wont go on the wall, but it's all good. After chasing one hard gobbling tom around for an hour or two,I finally gave up on him and moved to the food plots. No luck there either. I walked back and I wasputtin all my stuff in thetruck to get ready to drive back up to another spot, and I walked out on the road to lookin the fieldsone last time and saw something come popping outta the woods into the fields about 200 yardsaway. I saw it shining so I got the binoculars and saw that it was a pretty nice tom, and he wasslowly walking up the road towards me. I didnt wanna stay right by the truck b/cI know he wouldnt have come that far, so I made my way upa hillinto the woods to ease towards him with some cover. I got set up about 25 yards off the roadbetween two hillsand startin cluckin and purrin and scratchin around. He gobbled one time pretty hard and walked right past me on the road......It was around this time thathe fell over due to severe head trauma I'm goin to a different spot tomorrow where I had a tom gobble at least 50 times one freezin cold morning this past deer season. Bunch of birds there too, maybeI can get a bigger one. I know this iskillin you guys that you cant get in the woods, yall should all drive down and we'll have us a turkey massacre!!!! We're on the board!
