Got up this morning and had planned on taking my daughter. Today is her 7th birthday. We got up, she got her gear together and went outside; saw her breath and said Dad; I am going to sit this one out. I made it to the pop-up on the lease about 10 after 6. I thought I heard a gobble a long ways off. I never attempted to call at anything because of the rain and wind. At 0730 I yelped and cut a few times on my mouth call. At 0755 I looked out to the right side of the window and lone tom had come sneaking in. He got hit in the face with some hevi-13.

Not the biggest or the prettiest bird I have ever got but anytime you get a gobbler is a great day in my book.

little over 10 inch beard.
one spur was 1.2 and the other was 1.3.
weighed 20.2 lbs.
