my 2010 entry

I wish i could tell about a great hunt where i called this gobbler in.....but theres not much to tell on this one.after laying in the rain,lightning Sat. after work for over an hour watching this bird i finally took two shots and it was just too far.Sunday morning on the way to work i see him and his 2 hens headed along a field edge and i park and head him off. i shot him in the head from BEHIND him ,but i found a couple pellets in his breast meat so i know it's the bird i missed the day before.same field and 2 hens both times.REDEMTION IS SWEET !

these are the INDIANA check station measurements
in the pics I measured the spurs in inches at 1 inch each.
