Just to let every one no that Phantom Gobbler has killed his 1st eastern in Kentucky, way to go buddy well deserved . I think it's his biggest bird all around 10 inch beard and 3/4 spurs. He will be home shortly with pics

This was my second year trying for an out of state Eastern, and was able to harvest this bird on the last afternoon of the hunt in Western Kentucky.  I hope it won't be my last hunt for an Eastern as they are different birds than Merriams.  The area I hunted had record rainfall and floods to the south of us in TN (Nashville and Memphis).  Here's some pictures from the trip:
