I'm having trouble resizing the pictures.


This bird had 2 hens with him and never said a word. I seen him about 7:20 am and knew he wouldn't come to a call. So I slid my turkey vest off and deceided to stalk him. We played this cat and mouse game for over an hour. I would call and he would just look the other way. So I crawled on my belly across the field. When he would get behind some small trees in the field I would move faster trying to gain some ground on him. I crawled in the direction they were going and deceided to let the hens do the work for me. When he showed up at 30 yards I never let him take another step, Rolled that joker. Hunting has benn tough in S.E. Mo this year I'm happy with him.
He weighed 19 pounds had a 6 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs but had a full fan. Tropy in my eyes.
