T'was a magical morning in western PA. Set up with 100 yds of a mouthy gobbler this morning. Tree called once, he gobbled a lot, then flew down at 6:05. As he hit the ground I yelped at him and he was definitely on his way. At 6:10 my paw was standing on him.
Later, I went to another spot and found a lonely tom. When I called to him, I knew from the reaction time of his gobble that he was gonna come in. At 8:10 I was standing over him. Was pleasantly surprised to see he wore 1.5" curvy hooks. Finally gonna get the dead mount I've been wanting for years!!
Dad's bird had 1 1/4 spurs. I truly appreciate EVERY aspect of this wonderful sport. I AM THANKFUL!!
