Left work a little early and nothing was talking till about 5 o'clock. I heard one and talked a little more and waited. Here he came from the backside of the blind and gave a gobble. I just about fell of the the chair. He was 15 feet from the blind when he sound off. He was 23 1/2 lbs, 8 inch beard, 3/4 inch spurs and is a merriam.
