Congrats on the bird Phil. Now my turn. Got a call last night, from a young guy asking if I could take him out today. Started out with birds gobbling on the roost. Luck would have they flew down in the opposite direction. I managed to call in another bird, unfortunately he got behind a bunch of brush and my buddy couldn't get a shot. We decided to make a move, driving into the new spot, we seen two toms and two hens. Managed to seek into position. A couple of soft yelps and then a few clucks. The toms step out, the lead bird going on alert. I thumped him at 55 paces. He was only just over 16 lb but had a 10.5 in beard and good spurs, scored 57.75. I think he has been chasing the ladies.
