It was truly that. I've heard a bunch of birds gobble in the fall and winter but never like this one, and displaying to boot.

That story may have cost another turkey in my area it's life! After reading about you smoking him in the smoker, well... I just need to do that, ASAP. Sounds great.

Thanks all! I plucked this bird and it went into the smoker yesterday and after 8 hours at 225 degrees, it was perfect. Rubbed it inside and out with a mixture of red wine, vegetable oil, butter, minced garlic, marjoram and then salt and pepper. First time I used this method (NWTF recipe) and it won't be the last. We ( SIL and I) started in on it during MNF, right out of the smoker. Making turkey/barley/vegetable soup now out of the legs and had breakfast sandwiches this morning, egg/cheese/smoked turkey breast on toast. Man, life is good!

Makin' me hungry!  Nothing like a gobbler in the fall, especially when they act like it's spring.  Congrats!!!

Congratulations.
What an experience. I once called in some big gobblers while squirrel hunting. I heard them fly down. When I clucked purred at them with my own voice, they gobbled and flew to me landing about fifteen feet away
before seeing me. Talk about cool.
