Don’t get to hunt consistently and it’s been a few years since I’ve killed a Tom but it clicked Saturday morning. Actually had 7 come in . I would consider all of them Toms since they all had fairly long beards . The bird I killed had a large bare patch on his breast . Is that from breeding, strutting, fighting, disease , or all the above ?

Strutting, every time I clean one they’ll have a callus on their breast bone

Actually probably from being on the limb roosted.

Breeding
And calling in 7 - thats awesome
Called in flocks - lot of hens and gobbs - called in gobbs leading hens in several times - but i aint never called in 7 long beards at one time. Years ago when i had awesome spots i remember calling in 5 at diff times - aint never called in 7 mature
Nice - congrats
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self
We need prayer for our country now more than ever

Actually probably from being on the limb roosted. This, rests his breast on the limb while roosting.
