Finally, I closed the three year drought I've been in last Friday morning. It wasn't the most exciting hunt I've ever been on, but the drought has ended. Didn't hear a thing first thing that morning, not even a hen. So, I decided to walk around and see if I could stir anything up. About 8:00 I had walked over to a cutover an made a series of yelps. He fired off and I went around to get setup on him. Needless to say, he only gobbled one more time. But, about the time he quit two more down in the bottom fired off. I made one more series of yelps and they didn't answer. About 10 minutes later I heard what sounded like a turkey drumming right on my head. I looked to my left and there they were at about 20 steps. I let em walk on up the green strip an made my shot at about 10 steps. Sorry there's no pics, cant get em to upload off my phone. But he had a 9.5 in. beard, left spur was 1 in. and right was 7/8. He weighed right at 19 lbs.
