Here is the pictures and the story. So I wake up this morning and get my things together and head out the door. As soon as i step out the door I am greeted with a gobble from one of three toms roosted south of my house, I knew it was going to be a great day. I get to my spot get set up and the roost is silent, which i find kind of weird considering the # of birds. Well they fly down and finally start to gobble and the hens start to yelp. At about 7 I get a call from my good friend saying he just shot a tom with 1.5" spurs I was like that is awesome man, those were the biggest spurs he has ever taken! So he asked how my hunt was going and at that point I had only seen two hens. But I knew that they were getting close. So I finish talking to him and congratulating him, and I hang up and look over and here come the toms. at first there was one then two more joined them as well as three hens and three jakes. They slowly make there way over to me. Right as the first tom crosses the fence on to my property he goes on alert. I look up and here come a coyote running across the pasture, great this hunt is done. But he pays no attention to them and keeps on going. The other toms cross and then the jakes cross, the toms started to chase the jakes. They started heading north way from me and the biggest tom finally clears the hens and gives me a perfect 30yd shot. I sent some Hevi 13 #6 his way and he dropped like a rock. It was a fast hunt, and the best part is I never even called once!

Here is the pictures. He weighed 19 lbs, 9.25" beard and right at 1" spurs He is a Rio.
