Title: PA Tom #1
Post by: beagler on May 27, 2013, 06:38:19 PM
After some seductive yelping on my box call I had this bird come into range. While waiting for a good shot the tom spooked for some reason and started rubbernecking. I put my red dot a tad in front of his noggin and sent a load of 3 1/2" Nito's his way. Dropped like a sledgehammer hit him.
One of my heavier birds 22.9 lbs
9" beard
1" spurs

Congrats on a very nice bird. He is a heavy one. IMO ANY gobbler that weighs an honest 20 pounds or more is a big one. I have killed alot more under 20 than over. Again great bird. :you_rock:
