Glad you had luck...I had high hopes with the beautiful morning. Heard 4 gobbles all morning[:@]. I'm going to try a new area on wednesday I just don't think there were many birds around. Saw 6 hens and none of them had gobblers with them. I don't know what was up.

Ok fellas heres what happened this morning. I got set up on a wheat field in a blind at 530am, decoys out. I just set and waited for shooting light. I already had a gobbler gobbling 100 yards away. Well as light progressed there were more and more gobbles. 13 different gobblers in all. As its getting lighter I noticed the trees not 70 yards away are full of hens. Then I see the gobbler. Well the hens flydown to another adjoining field away from me, then the gobbler follows. Well Im bummin now. But I didnt give up. I gave some loud yelps from my Cody and some purrs and cluck. Then I hear it, sweet music to me ears the spit and drum. Here he comes. I purr he gobbles. Hes now 60 yards away and coming. He sees the decoys keeps coming now at 50. I purr and cluck, and a gobble came from directly in front of me. I look there are 2 more gobblers in the field. Then they all eyeball each other. The first gobbler is 30 yards away now and I can shoot he's to far to my right. The other 2 gobblers decide they dont like it and give me the old dreaded wing flip. They start heading off. I turn to watch the first gobbler. Hes wanting to move away. I slide out of my chair, get on my knees, put the gun threw the window. I then lowered the boom on him at 30 yards.20lbs 9 1/2 in beard and 7/8in spurs.

Heres the link to my pic.

Beautiful bird arrowmaster. I'm going to try again in the morning. I'm hoping for some more gobbling. I think I ned to change spots. The birds dont seem to be using the area they havein years past in my hunting area.

Well guys I scored.... Opening day was nice to me. I called in a 19 lbs 9in for my buddy and he harvested his first bird everat 9:30 am. Around 6:30 pm It was my turn... calling like crazy at a tom and a solo hen I destracted him enough to loose sight of her and then it was on. It took about 30 mins to get to the creek 35 yrds. in front of me. The hard part was to get himto cross it (a liitle to thick) once he did I filled my tag. I was so exited that I pinch my finger pretty good chambering the next round. That sucked. I'll get the pics up tommorow I'm short on time. Sorry.

221/2 lbs.
10 in. beard
spurs 7/8 and 1 in.

Good luck guys.

22.5 lbs
10 in. beard
1 in. right spur
7/8 in. left spur
I calculated it on the nwtf site and got 122.5 so I think I screwed somthing up can someone calulate it. Or tell me what I did wrong.
I also have pics of the spurs and beard (if needed) but I dont know how to attach more than one pic at a time.
