Will it did pay off.The toms few out in the field, but the hens took them other way :bash: 27 degrees I froze my a$$ off. Sat until 9:30. Went and visited a friend and was back at 3PM. Put the decoys out and fell asleep woke up to a gobble at 4:45 and two nice toms came into the field w/one hen. I called and they gobbled there heads off. The hen came into my decoys but the tom stayed out in the field. When she yelped they came in. She stayed at the fence line at 20 yds, the toms crossed at 50 yds. I took him at 50 yds. Nice 18 lb bird w/a 10" beard. I will post pictures soon. BTW, pattern your gun, I knew my gun was dead on at that yardage. ;)

Man that is some great white coloring on that bird! I want to shoot one of those real white ones one day. For now I will just be happy to get whatever I can get in range. So far a pretty tough year, I hope it gets better for folks who get out a little later. Nice work Ben.

Got home this morning at 3:45am. Had dinner w/my daughter and sister in law in Spokane. I dropped my daughter off at Cheney and hit the road about 8:45 last night. Took HWY 18 and the I-5 ramp was closed and the HWY 16 ramp was closed. What a mess, one thing nice it was 1:45 am and no traffic. Here some pictures. BTW, I need to buy a good camera. :bash:

These are toms

The 5 birds on the right are toms


Bird #1 right side, 8" beard

Bird #2 10" beard

Good work Ben, sorry we did not hook up while over that way. Had the hunting been a bit better it may have worked out. Seems just about everyone had to work for them this year. Still a great hunt.
