Illinois First Season in the rain

[allaboutshooting]

Congratulations! That's quite a bird and your tenacity paid off very well. I don't see many birds that heavy and those 2 beards and the spurs make it really special.

We have a lot of flooding in this part of Southern Illinois and it's still raining as I type this. We did not have any luck today. Doris has a tag and I'm the caller this season.

I went back out this afternoon and saw one very wet and sad looking gobbler in a cut over corn field, so they are still there. Probably just a bit more concentrated.

Thanks,
Clark
