I made the one hour drive to the family farm this morning where I was supposed to meet my brother at 6am, he had a few things come up and sent a buddy that hasn't killed a bird in 3 years in his place. We didn't hear anything on the farm at first light so we drove a few miles to the next spot. Within 20 minutes we had 4 gobblers in range taking turns whipping my poor jake decoy.
My bird is on the right and his on the left. Solid 2-3 year old turkeys that put on a show for us. Mine went 11 1/4 on the beard and 1 inch on the spurs. Definitely not my biggest bird ever, but one of my more memorable hunts to date. It's always nice when they decide to cooperate.
