My 2003 gobbler picture.

He was a real talker, gobbling all the way in. He came in with another strutter, side by side, both hammering! I took the top of his head off because he got to 7 yards before I got him out of strut and his up for a shot. He and his buddy were bullying my jake decoy so I took him in defense of my deke. I took the top of his head off, partly visible in the pic below. It was an awesome hunt though!

Congratulations. Thats what I call calling them in close. You know they are close when you can smell their breathe when they gobble.

What were the stats?
