Indiana Heavy Bearded Tom!!!
 

Shot this Tom opening morning. Birds weren't working very good but the 12 ga and decoy was. Proof is in the picture.

Blind called for 1/2 hour and rolled over on my side to nap a bit--- I mean to watch that side of the hill. The tom came peeking in and I had to rub the sleep out of my eyes to make sure I was not dreaming.
I mouth yelped and he turned and hit full strut. After dancing several donuts (of which I could only see his tail fan) he was within range. He got nervous about something and started to do the head bob. I let him eat a beak full of #5 Winnies from the SBE Steady Grip. Dead bird and mission accomplished.

11 1/4" beard
23 lbs
broken and worn down 1/2" spurs?
