Killed this bird yesterday morning. My heaviest in 15 years. 21 lb 10 oz. He has a 8.5" beard and 1" spurs.
Runnin and gunnin, finally got him to respond at 8:43 am and was able to close the distance for the shot at 10:02 am. He would gobble and strut but would not come in. He had 2 hens with him. I shot him 2.6 miles as the crow flies from the rig. I had 4 drainages to go down and up between him and the truck. I'm worn out. But it was totally worth it.
Mounting him in full strut gobbling. I'll post pic's when done.
