Team 3 Scoring Update
Better late than never! Second to the last day of the Wisconsin season I finally scored a mature tom. Taken on zone 2 public land.
Had 3 encounters with an awesome heavy Boss Hogg that frustrated me each time. The 1st time he hung up at 100 yards gobbling over 50 times at my Zink Avians. No dice. But at least I got the 2nd best looking tom at 3 PM after repositioning. Him and his buddy would not move off the end treeline for 6 hours, so I picked up and walked right at them from 300 yards. Then after they ran off, I hung a 90 degree angle to the far south side of their beloved treeline. After setting up, I got in the blind, and not 10 minutes later they both poked their heads out to check out the field. Boom boom from 38 yards!
He will upgrade my 9# bearded hen on the scoresheet. Not a giant, but 19#, 1" spurs, 9 1/2" beard. Respectable. Official score and photos to follow.
