Opening day was a little tough in MO. It was windy and I heard 1 bird on the roost. He didn't want any part of a call. Got on 2 other gobblers with 3 hens that were the same way. At 10 a.m. I got a bird fired up, long story short I we met up before I got set up. I hunted the next 2 hours without a gobble. At 12:15 I decided to go try the 10 o'clock bird. I came in on the opposite side of him and hit the call. He answered. I knew it was over then. He gobbled about 15 more times and strutted in to 30 yards and I let him have it. Was back in my truck at 12:48. In MO we have to stop hunting at 1 p.m. I used my whole day. He weighed 23 1/2 lbs, had a 10 3/4" beard, left leg didn't have a spur and the right leg had a 1/4" spur.
