Title: first tom of the season
Post by: loner on March 28, 2014, 11:34:34 AM
this tom went down at 7.00 AM after another tom roosted behind me flew down in front of me to approaching tom and he came running at full strut to let him know who was the dominate bird.he weighted 22#,had 7/8" thick spurs and 9 7/8" beard.after walking about a mile to get there and back out with him in the vest,i was about done in.

You said you walked a mile... Was this public land? Just curious...

Seems like 90% of the people on these forums hunts private land  :turkey2:

I hunt strictly public land and have a hard time relating to. Well you know... "Gobbler#2 down, Gobbler#3 down, Gobbler#4 down"...

Just nice to read a turkey hunting story that I can relate to which doesn't happen much these day lol
