After yesterdays fiasco of knocking down a bird two times and losing him,today I moved to the east side of the farm I was hunting as I had heard birds in there earlier during several of my morning listening sessions.Had 2 birds close to where I was set up and 2-3 more in the near distance.He doesn't gobble much on the roost but really lights it up once he's down.Gave a few yelps on my Hot Hen and he's coming hard.Figure he would stick to the road that is from his roost tree to where I am but of course he stays inside the timber line about 20 yds.He comes into view struttin and hammerin,wont give me a clear shot.He gets almost to where I can shoot and her comes a hen.Why not,thats how my luck has been.She walks right between the two of us about 15 yds from me going the other way!He breaks strut and kinda has that "hey aint I good enough for ya" look and proceeds to follow right after her. He didn't make it.

22 lbs 13 oz  10 " beard  1 1/8" spurs. Done at 7:00 am.

Lets say I am in a much better mood today.Have pics up later.

Congrats...me and dad are 2 for 2 now...both great hunts.  Sucks when one gets away but without it you never would have gotten to hunt today!  :you_rock:
shoot first, measure spurs later

Great job

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Why shoot a 3.5"? Because they don't make a 4".
