Well here's #1 for us.  Got him at 9:00am this morning.  Got on a couple at daybreak gobbling real light and weak, one was a jake that we ended up calling up, the other sounded like it headed away from us towards our fields. Once the jake left we made our way to the fields and spotted some birds being real freaky...(actually watched a strutter breed a hen). We didn't have a shot at that point so we left them alone and let them walk away down the field. We doubled back and came down on them from the woods, called and scratched a little, and ended up calling the whole flock straight up the hill to us. This one strutted up the hill behind a hen til I popped him. The long beard xr shells did the trick. Weighed 18lb 8oz, 10.25" beard, right spur 1", left spur 7/8".  Let me know if the pictures are ok.

The site of the kill.




I didn't have my tape measure with me so I had to stop by my folks' house.  Used pops camera to take a picture showing the date while I was there.
