Title: 2010 opening day toms
Post by: batsquatch on April 20, 2010, 05:23:33 PM: My dad and I found these toms the day before the season opener. The next morning we set up the decoys and had two hens fly in first and nonstop called the rest of the flock in. The two toms strutted all the way to their final resting place. I didnt even have to use any calls worked out great.My tom has a 10 inch beard and 1 1/8 spurs my dads was 9 1/2 beard with 1 inch spurs.

We hunt in the northeast part of the state. We have seen alot darker tail feather colors the more north you go. I dont know why.
