Default Finally scored after a tough season..

Well it has been a tough year, but it finally came together today. Shot a 3 year old.

18 pounds
9.5" beard
1 1/8" spurs

I almost got screwed again though. He came from 100+ yards out. When he was at 40 yards just strutting and gobbling, but I couldn’t get a shot between all the trees when all of a sudden a deer comes out of no where and runs right between me and the bird and then stops 20 yards from me. She just stared and started stomping but the bird stayed right in full strut and it never bothered him. Finally he walked about 5 feet and I had a small window to let one ride and he went in a pile. Early in the week I had a deer blow and stomp and run and spook a bird I had coming in..
