Knew generally where some would be roosting last night and got this one to gobble off the corner of a field right after fly down about 200 yds away. After calling a few more times over about 10 min I got he and a buddy to work on in to my decoys. Spurs are about 1.5”, beard is about 10.5” and weighed 19.5 lb. on the scale at the local hardware. 104357104358
 
Nice one; poor old boy looks like a drowned rat, but anything or anyone who was out in that rain yesterday would look the same. It was bad enough here that I didn't even entertain going out into it.
 
Nice bird! I was out of town yesterday so didn't get out to chase them, but I'll be out on Monday. Hoping the rain kept hunter numbers down and my favorite spot untouched.
 
Nice bird, I wish ours had spurs like that. My Tom from this morning just had little nubs which is pretty normal for the area I hunt.
