Got another one this past Wed. Wasn't as good as the first one but satisfied. 17.5 lbs., beard-9 1/4 in., spurs-5/8 in. both. JW! has the pics. Looks like Team 11 is rolling.
I thought the gobbling was over for us but I had 8 different birds in a circle around me. The first two came in but not close enough, could see them struting when another came walking down an old logging road and ran them off. I had another one hang up about 200 yds from me and was mainly working him. The bird I got was out in front of me (I couldn't see him), but knew he was coming. I shot him at 64 steps when I thought he was turning to leave. Longest shot I've ever made with this gun.

Haven't been able to go back for 2 days, hope to get after them again tomorrow.
