I had the opportunity to hunt some private land inn Southwestern Iowa this past week and the gobblers were hammerin. Took me a couple of days to figure out the terrain and the pattern of the birds but I did finally bag one last Friday. Nice bird, 27 lbs with a 10 1/4 inch beard and both spurs being a hair longer than one inch. Wasn't the boss gobbler of the property (nice one with three feathers missing in the middle of the fan) but was a real nice nice one.
