njdevilsb,

Congrats on the birds.  It's been a pretty tough season so far here in NY.  The gobblers are henned up bad and there aren't too many people around my neck of the woods that are killing them.  I've had a couple of close calls and passed up some jakes but am still working on punching tag #1...

Hopefully you get a couple of good ones.  They are henned up bad up here, I'm hunting just outside of Watertown, NY.  The first one I got probably only came in because the 2 hens and jakes were up close to us.  The hen called all of the birds out of the woods for us, we just sat and enjoyed the show mostly.

When I got #2, we had 5 toms with a group of hens that wouldn't come close at all, but they'd gobble their heads off. After they all disappeared, one came back out with one hen strutting and gobbling, but he wouldn't leave her.  Eventually our persistence paid off and he came in on a string, with her in tow after about another hour.  It was almost 10 when I pulled the trigger.

My dad got his last one this morning, but he was with his one hen, and joined 2 others that I believe are nesting.  He barely paid any attention to us, but we used the country to stalk him and my dad got him.  He never made a sound, but he didn't need to because he had all he needed already in the field with him.

Beard = 10.5"



Spurs = 1.25" & 1.25"

The scale that I normally use is apparently broken, so I had to resort to the back-up scale...
