Finally a mature bird!

I played today perfect. Heard multiple gobblers about 125 yards down in woods. Hunting woods not the fields as last 2 years they good toms have stayed in hiding more than the open.

I was getting response but nothing coming to me so I cut the distance to about 75 yards. Set up and quietly plucked then mildly called some. Then got real quiet.

I stayed low in my calls and they came a looking! Finally they came into view and the big boy was huffed up and the others were gobling it seemed. I waited them out and they came to where I predicted at 30-35 yards and boom!

My best game plan to date and my biggest bird to date. First mature bird.








23lbs.  8" beard.  Measure straight out the Spurs are both 1.125". Don't have a bendable tape measure to get the curve.

Genesis 27:3 - Now then, get your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.
