I hunted this public land gobbler for 10 days and had him almost in range 3 different times. Today at 2:10 with just a few hours remaining in the season he finally came in and I shot him at about 35 yards. He is a young bird with 10 1/8 inch beard, 3/4 and 13/16 inch spurs and weighed 19.687 lbs.
Birds are acting strange, not showing much interest in the girls, not gobbling much. It's been hard hunting for me.
