Cant weigh him yet. gonna run down to the feed and seed and put him on their scale. Had my digital scale in my truck yesterday, now it has gone missing.
Went to where I saw the bird yesterday evening early in pitch black dark. Set up decoy in field. Sat down and didnt make a peep. A crow came over about 6:30 and he hammered about 100 yards in the woods. Well I have to work at 8 so I wasnt going to wait on him at the field. I slipped down in the woods. I get in about 45 yards or so and see a nice opening in some mixed hardwoods and big pines. I started to sit down and then told myself slip 10 more yards. I eased up about 5 yards and hens started clucking all around me and purring. I sat down and started doing the same. He hammered in a tree 40 yards from me. This went on for about 10 minutes. I did a wing fly down and he hammered and dropped straight out of the tree into the opening. Trigger was pulled before he could finish going into strutt.
