Pics and story later.3 year old,9.5" beard and sharp 7/8" spurs.
After fooling with a bird that didn't gobble much after fly down I was coming out of a place about 9 and stopped to shut the gate,I had fooled with a bird across the road last week so I decided to see if I could get him to answer me,I yelped and cut a few times and one answered me close to where I just came from,he sounded like he was a half mile across there,well I cut at him again and he answers so I decide to ride in there and try him,I get in the truck and crank up and decide not to go in there right yet so I cut the truck off and get back out just to see if this bird is gonna gobble some more,I get out and yelp a few times and nothing then cut and nothing,I give it a minute and cut again and he has already cut the distance in half so I grab my gun and stuff and break off down a logging road through some big thinned pines,I get about 50 yards down the road and yelp and he answers me right under the break of the hill so I sit down,I give it a minute and yelp and he answers right on top of me,a few seconds later I see him coming up the hill along with two other gobblers,I know they are coming so I don't say anything else,as soon as they get about 35 yards from me I pick one and lights out,this hunt lasted maybe 10 minutes.
