I spent 2 weeks chasing 3 Toms any of which I knew where good last yr - I got one of the 3 weighed in at 26 lbs 6 oz.s - double beard and great spurs.
Had over a 70 NWTF score - was worthy of the chase. I passed on several lesser Toms....
I hope to be able to chase the other 2 if they made the winter...
