Wisconsin Gobbler Score 56.875
Wisconsin Gobbler continued.
I am tagged out in TN, Fort Campbell and IL. Headed to TX tomorrow for a finish to this spring season. I doubt that I will have anything from TX that will top this Eastern so here is my best overall bird for this spring. Killed some with bigger spurs and longer beards but the double beard on this guy makes him my best overall bird.
