Called in a 17.5lb bird for my buddy (actually called in two, but we were set up wrong for the double), had 8 3/4" beard and 7/8" spurs... worked 4 other birds shortly there after to have the jakes come in and the tom stay in the field. 125gobbles or so were heard sat mornin, hunted cattaragus county this morning (left home at 1am, ouch!) only to get on a couple birds that out smarted us, we were setup in a blind, we moved towards the gobblers they flew down and proceeded to walk right up to where we had originally started the morning...it was tough watching that!
All in all good first weekend with lots of new york hunters going out, seemed everywhere we looked saw a vehicle on the side of the road!
