Finally!!!!
« on: April 30, 2009, 08:00:38 PM »
Got my Tom this morning. :)  Located him at 200 yards away.  Called him within 20 yards and the rest is history.  He had 7 hens with him one of which had about a 4 inch beard. Kind of neat seeing that.  I am going to be mounting him in a semi-strut pose ;) Good luck everyone.  John
