Hey guys, cashed in this morning with a nice tom at 7 AM. He had a 9.5" beard, 7/8" spurs on both, and 22#. Been hunting pretty hard since the opener last week with some REALLY close calls. Actually had 3 toms behind me about 5 yards but couldnt seal the deal. Went out this morning, put 1 hen decoy out, which i rarely use decoys since they always seem to hang up out of range when I have them out, and sure enough about a half our after fly down strutting with 2 or 3 toms and a bunch of hens he followed the hens across the ditch dividing us. He looked across the field, saw my 1 hen decoy (bobblehead feeding hen), and committed! I havent had one do that since my first tom about 10 years ago. He came in and angled to my right where I made him pay at 25 yards!!! I was pumped!!!
Do I report this bird, or does the captain?
Score is 58.5
Thanks!
