went with my buddy this AM.. had birds going everywhere across the road. Nothing where we had planned on setting up.
Tried working them but wound up having them henned up in middle of field. we left and heard a gobble near where our trucks were parked. Buddy had to go. I slipped up ridge above where they were gobbling.
Made a few calls and they came in quick. Probably took 5min for the entire setup.
2 big toms. If we were both there it would have been a nice double in the woods. This guy popped up about 12 yards from me over a little crest in the hill full strut drumming... he dropped his fan and I put
him to bed.
Big bird. 22.5 lb. 1" spurs. 10" beard.
