Swampbuster, send those measurements. Who all hunted this weekend.

Last day of the MO season was today. I tagged out with another double with a buddy. He was 23 lbs with 1 inch spurs and 10 inch beard. Not an upgrade but a decent bird. They hung up in a field for 2 hours while their hens fed around our decoys. Finally they couldn't take it anymore and came up to investigate. We 1,2,3ed em and dropped them both. The third bird started pecking the ones we just shot. We got up and walked to within 10 yards before he noticed us and ran off. Hope all your seasons are going well! Sounds like some of you are having some luck. It was a rough season around here but I got my two.

So far so good, but once again, I need the measurements.

Didn't hear a bird at roost behind the house so my oldest son and I went back to NFS. With my son I use a popup blind because he cant sit still that long. We had a gobbler gobbling at us uphill 100 yards at first light, then it became two gobblers. They kept gobbling until 8:30 but wouldn't budge. At 9:00 we tried to climb around a steep mountain to get at their elevation and call them to us but got only silence. I'm out of town for the next week so won't be on until later. I'll have one last best chance on the 18th when I take all my kids with me to the family farm.

Congrats to all you guys getting it done. I seem to be getting the calls but not the commitments.

These are the Kansas rios that I doubled on. First turkey was 18.12lbs 1 1/8 spurs and 9in beard. Second turkey weighed 17lbs had 1in spurs and 8in beard. Sorry this has taken a while to post ss just trying to figure this stuff out.
