Killed this one may 5th on public land here in PA. The morning started out very quiet didn't hear any on the roost so I started burnin boot leather at 7:55 I heard him gobble about 500yds away. There was a logging road heading in his direction so I hustled over his way and set up on a bend in the logging road. He gobbled 3 more times while I was on my way to him I yelped and cut on a mouth call and then an aluminum pot call he never answered me came in silent I let him have it at 35yds when he stepped into the road at 8:20  10 7/8'' beard longest spur was 1 1/8'' the other an 1'' only weighed 16#

So there is (was), a gobbler in PA, that still knows how to talk.
Congrats on a fine looking bird, taken during a very tough season.
