Allright Pic are posted (This took a me some time)

I killed this bird on Sunday morning around 7am. We had a gobbler in this field the day before, that we could not get to cross a ditch so we moved our blindto his side of the ditch. We got the DSD decoys (Estyle and Randell named after my mother-in-law and a guy @ work) set out and in the blind around 530 andwere waiting to hear the turkey come to life, and nothing, they were not making a sound. I thought this was going to be a long day when my hunting partner saw this bird across on the same side of the ditch we were on the day before. After glassing for a while we knew he had allready seen the decoys and was on his way. Across the ditch he came struting and druming but not gobbling at all. I was going to let him have his way with Estyle but I just didn't wont to shoot my $300 decoys. I shoot him abot 15 feet behind the decoys setup and it was a 27 yard shoot from the blind. This bird was by himself and never make a sound and we never made a call to him...

His stats are
16lbs 7oz
spurs 7/8" and 1"
beard was a double the main was 10 1/4"
and the second was 7 3/4"


The last picture was are decoy setup

Good luck every one
