Weather radar says we have a couple hour break in the rain. Slipped out to my deer shack behind the house. First series of calls with the box pulled a gobble from a bird about as far as I can hear one. A few calls and a half hour later he's gobbling on the high point of my woods, directly above me. A few soft yelps on my ghost cut diaphragm from Martin Calls and he's creeping down the trail towards my lone hen decoy. The #9 TSS stopped him just 6' from the decoy. 20lbs, 9" beard and 3/4" spurs definitely a 2 year old.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200516/5ffc12c5cd547ab4b75e28cfe0ba7716.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200516/8d97f327bd4751cf64705db10d774940.jpg)

Congrats. I took note that you enforced the socially distancing standard when you allowed him 6' from the decoy before the hammer was dropped. 
Awesome bird and good job!

Weather radar says we have a couple hour break in the rain. Slipped out to my deer shack behind the house. First series of calls with the box pulled a gobble from a bird about as far as I can hear one. A few calls and a half hour later he's gobbling on the high point of my woods, directly above me. A few soft yelps on my ghost cut diaphragm from Martin Calls and he's creeping down the trail towards my lone hen decoy. The #9 TSS stopped him just 6' from the decoy. 20lbs, 9" beard and 3/4" spurs definitely a 2 year old.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200516/5ffc12c5cd547ab4b75e28cfe0ba7716.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200516/8d97f327bd4751cf64705db10d774940.jpg)
