Found this ole boy last Saturday while scouting. He had 9 hens with him.  Roosted him Tuesday evening still with his 9 hens. Set up on him for the Oklahoma opener on Wednesday.  He was in his strutting field when 7 jakes showed up.  I got to watch him fight off all 7.  Called up a couple of his hens but could not get him to come.  Went back Wednesday afternoon and he still had 5 hens with him.  Still could not do anything with him.  Had to be in the office on Thursday.  My mind however was not on work.  Went back to his strutting field this morning. He gobbled a couple of times from the roost.  He flew down about 150 yards from me with 5 hens.  Over the course of an hour He was down to 1 hen.  I picked up my call for the first time. Two clucks and the hen started cutting and cutting and coming my way.  Glad I hid well because that ole gal was pizzed and looking for me.  Took the ole boy for ever to come and see what all the fuss was about. When he got to 15 yards I let lose.  Nice bird.  My personal 10th limb hanger.  11 inch beard.  Both spurs 1 1/8 inch with a nice curve to them.  Good thing turkeys cant hear Your heart beat.  I would have been busted for sure this morning.

Way to go, Rob. We all like them to come easily, but there is something to be said about working hard for one, as well. Congrats on a very nice bird..Mike :icon_thumright:
