Did some scouting behind my land tonight,heard a bird hammering good about 6 pm. He gobbled 12 times over a 30 minute period slowly getting closer to where I was tucked into a brier bush. I wanted to get a look at him to see if he was a mature bird,finally came into view,not much to look at. His beard was 4" about 1/2 spurs,maybe 17 lbs. the only thing impressive about him was his gobble. He had 4 or 5 hens 70 to 80 yards away clucking,yelping and getting the young stud all wound up. I watched him for 15 minutes waiting to see if a Top Tom was going to come along and run him off,nothing. Finally eased out as he moved away toward the hens in the thick stuff. Got my blood up for the youth hunt this Saturday,got a good bird lined up for my youth hunters. Hoping another shows up before then so we can double up on them.
