After a long hunt saterday at hoosier national and an afternoon hunt on tuesday i finally saw my fisrt bird weds morning. We sat up in the middle of where we heard at least 3 seperate birds gobbling. We had two hens in the roost 20 yds or so infront of us. I was thinking that if i was going to see a gobbler it would be in front of me coming towards the hens or the field. 5:55 the hens are still on the roost and i just happen to catch a glimpse of something moving along the field line behind me. As soon as could tell it was legal i got my sights on him and took the shot when he took half a step into a clearing. The shot caused the hens to fly off the roost. So in one morning i shot my first tom and witnessed for the first time one flying off the roost. To say the least it was a good morning. He had 8 in beard 7/8 long spurs. Sorry about the bad pic the bird was wet and wasnt real sure on how to hold it.
