Lightning strikes twice in the Garden State, killed my second NJ bird this afternoon. First real gobbling I have heard since mid-April. Had 4 or 5 gobblers sounding off at 4:30 PM, what the heck??? 1" spurs, 9 3/4" beard, and a whopping 13 lbs! I have shot fall hens that weighed more than that, the man at the check station said they've all been light this week, I guess the warm weather & spring ritual have taken their toll. Heading up to NY state this weekend to see if I can fill a couple of these tags I still have. NWTF score 52.5.
