    Figured I'd fill ya all in. Finally connected this morning! Wife and i had action all day Wednesday but nothing in range. Thursday morning i was ip yo bat! Flat out missed. Right over his back. 24 yards and i thought he was at 30. O well. Thats hunting right?!

    Well today started slow. No gobbles in the roost. Soon after light 3 hens and 3 Jake's vame strolling into the decoys. They putzed around for half hour when yhis guy rolled in with two more hens. Come right in and offered a 15 yard shot so i couldnt pass him up. Cracked him pretty good right on the melon! Couldnt be happier!

    18 pounds 6 in beard. 1/4 and 1/2 spurs. I gotta another tag left so im gonna wait to submit this one until after I'm all wrappef up for the year! Here are the pics! Enjoy! uploadfromtaptalk1367002823376.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1367002891034.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1367002906946.jpg

    Im not 100% positive but i think my bird maybe just a big jake too. We had several early hatches last year so its possible. Either way, it was a blast and a fun action thrilled hunt!

    Everyone still alive ? I hope everyone is doing well. My chances of putting up a higher scoring bird are gone since my season is officially over so its up to the rest of you guys to get us up to #1 !

    All seasons should be closed no matter what state you live in. The latest season runs until may 31st i think. Looking at the score board, its looking like we took second!
