Any way, I have sent the pics to Phil and he will post them for me(thanks Phil) I got on this turkey last Saturday night and could only get him to 80yards or so. He didn't really want to leave the hens he was following. I know the area well and knew we're he would be roosting and new were to set up on him in the morning. The next morning I got set up and could hear him gobbling, he was a good ways off but he was heading my way. I would call sparingly to him and he would respond. I was finally able to see him strutting my way. I knew by the missing tail feather that he was definitely the turkey from the evening before. He came in gobbling,strutting, and drumming. I let him put on a show until I couldn't stand it anymore. I shot him at twenty yards.

I shot him Sunday morning at 7:40
