Well yesterday morning  started off quite different . I was hunting a new farm and have been watching the Turkey's for about a week and I thought I knew everything about them. I knew their roost and the strut zone until yesterday morn when I walked in before day light. Went to my set up after days off patterning these birds put out my dekes and waited. Day light broke nothing!! I was starting to worry ,then a gobble right where I walked through in the dark. So I hurried back and set up about 100 yards form his roost and he was hotter then fire ,so I just let him keep on gobbling till he slowed and then I let out a few soft yelps and he hammered it so I set quietly while he gobbled and boy he had ants in his pants he just couldn't wait . He pitched out of the old oak tree and ran straight to my set up and at 22 steps that's where he fell. Here's a few pic's.   




11 1/4 " BEARD 1 1/4 SPURS 23 LBS.   The whole hunt lasted about an hour. Raining today I have a double bearded bird on the hit list next, big bird. Wish me luck.
