Gobbler down!

we headed out this morning at 6:00 a.m. and drove to some public land we have hunted the last few years, and did a hen call and 2 gobblers replied up on the top of a hill, we got up as close as we could without being seen, put a decoy out and started calling. I had my brother sit infront of me by about 30 yards so he could get the bird. so anyways, this gobbler came to about 80 yards and then went up the hill to another little road, so I called for about 2 minutes and then decided to sneak up there because he wasn't comming, I got about 4 feet from the top of the road and this gobbler was comming in, I wasn't calling, but he was comming my way, so I just waited to see what would happen and sure enough, about 4 minutes later he came strutting around the corner to 20 yards and then he raised his head up high like he was looking off the edge for some hens, and I let him have it. He's a nice public land bird! weighs 17 pounds has about a 7 inch beard and has 3/4 spurs! I'll get better pictures up when my brother gets back with the camera. he looks pretty mangled in this picture.
