Well, headed out at 3;30 am today for my last day of the season. Wind rain no gobbles. Finally at 9 i heard one gobble and could tell it was down in the corner of the feild. So with the nasty weather decided to try and slide down thru the pines to get on em. Crawled thru some thick wet crap for a couple hundred yards and got real close, couldn't hardly see anything and was tryin to get over to a little hole when i heard one start alarm putting. ducked down and spotted a red head!! Not much room to shoot, im soppen wet, its the last day and they're about to take off so wasnt gonna wait around to size him up. I shot and smoked him, ran out into the feild to see about 20 birds scatter. There's at least 3 nice toms on the prop, so now im pretty happy. Got up to the bird and MAN........was i dissapointed!!! Out of all the good birds out there i had to line up the smallest jake of the bunch!!! But he will taste a lot better than my tag and a few points for the team is better than none i guess.

here is his sorry numbers
eastern
13.75 lbs
4 in beard
.25 in spurs (just bumps really)

had the boy hold him so he looks bigger







think Jrbsr is kinda busy so i'll post the score. Thanks guys and good luck!!
