Bird #3 for me is in the freezer - 19.2 lbs, 1 inch and 3/4 inch spurs, 9 inch beard and was a 3 yr old. Was the biggest of the 3 Toms, 2 jakes and 2 hhens I called in as a group. I always shoot the strutter! Funny though I could have taken both the 2nd and 3rd Toms because after the shot they stayed in range!
I just watched them walk away as they went to the other side of the farm as I had a Tom over there I was also taking to.....So my Michigab tag is filled. I did eatch my daughter whack a nice Tom I had called to her late Monday night on my 62nd birthday. That was cool. That bird had 1 inch spurs and a busted beard as it had a rot - a few strands where 9/5 inches and it weighed 18.9 lbs
Birds where light wt this yr I guess.....and it was not a hard winter there at all.
But I am home on an unscheduled stop.
See you in a few weeks
