Went to north Texas this weekend not expecting anything. To my surprise I was able to connect on a nice gobbler Sat. at 11:00. He weighs 17 lbs. 4 oz., beard 11" , and spurs 1 1/8" and 1 2/8". He scores 63. I guess his light weight is due to breeding. This is the last weekend of the season, so he has probably been doing a lot of breeding. He was in a wheat field feeding with another gobbler. He would occasionally respond to my calling, but wouldn't budge out of the field. I circled around them to head them off in case they moved, but when I got there they were still in the same spot. Knowing he probably wouldn't come to my calling I decided to go after him. He was in a dip in the field just low enough for me to make a sneak on him. I got to within about 30 yards when he popped his head up just above the wheat. I took the shot and he went down.
