Had a great Saturday morning in the woods in Michigan. Had 6 birds gobbling within 100 yds and had 3 pitch out and land about 40 yds from me. Waited till the strutter got clear and made the shot on another good bird. Hunt was over at 6:25 am. The Tom weighed in at 24 lbs, has a 10 1/2 in beard and 1 3/8 spur on one side, the other broke at 1 1/4 inch. Took my seventh bird in 2 seasons with the Winchester long beards in 3 1/2 in #5 shot and all one shot kills. Used a 2 reed mouth call by Osceola game calls to take him.

That's an awesome bird! Great job!
Well done
Congrats. Love seeing posts from successful Michigan hunters. My season doesn't start until May 9 and I'll be in Aruba for the first week so I'll end up having the last two weeks of the season to get it done(I know, poor planning on my part but have to keep the wife happy). The wait for the final season kills me every year but most years I can find friends and family to call for while I'm waiting for my chance. Nice job and great pics.
That time of the month has always been good for me. Had good luck calling birds in for friends at that time.
