so last night I loaded up a couple photos onto the computer, found a computer with a slot for the SD card. I only got some from yesterday, not today yet, those'll have to wait.



Today was another great day, 17 minutes after legal light I shot another good sized gobbler. Was pretty neat, he was gobbling on the roost before first light, then right at legal light he flew down and landed at the far end of the field I was in. Took just over 15 minutes, and a bit of soft calling, and he worked right in. As he got to my decoy a hen flew down and landed right by him too. He wasn't paying any attention to my two hen decoys or the real deal hen, he was pretty worked up about my jake decoy. Kept gobbling at it, and strutting, and waving his tail in its face, dragging his wings, was pretty wild to watch, after a couple minutes of that I got a good bead on him and dropped him at about 40 yards. The whole time he was doing this two jakes and another hen stood about 50 yards off and watched. after I shot him they all ran around in circles for a second, then came in to investigate what was going on, checked out my decoys, checked out the dead bird, and the jakes came within about 25 yards of me. Then the Toms reflexes kicked in and his legs started kicking and they all beetled out of there, pretty neat.

He was a touch smaller than yesterdays, but still seemed to me to be a mature gobbler. He weighed in at 21 lbs, with spurs about 1 and 3/8", but had a longer beard, it was 9.5"




Below is a picture of my tom from yesterday; 22lbs, 1.5" spurs, and a 9" beard.



Ill post some more pictures when I get home from the whole trip.

Wow, in two days you managed to bag two mature gobblers. Those are huge spurs man. 1.5 and 1 3/8 inches is awesome. The biggest bird Deb or I have ever bagged as far as spurs go had 1 3/8's spurs. You are definately on roll so far in 08! :cheers:

Right on dude!
Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority,and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a bowel movement by the clean end
