    No but still a decent bird . There is a monster Tom in the same area . At least 5 birds sounding off this morning on the roost . I set up where they usually go . Was working a bird yesterday pretty much where I killed this one . It pays to be quiet and sit and wait. I did minimal calling maybe 3 times from when I knew they flew down because they shut right up .I had just closed my eyes and put my head down because usually they don’t make it to that area before 1030 :notsure: What the hell do I know :p so I was planning on being quiet. Not 10 minutes went by and this bird gobbled about 60 yards away . I always set up with a bit of a rise in the land in front of me that way when they show they are right within range ! 7.5” beard 3/4” spurs . Heavy bird ,I would say 20#

    Finally got a day that wasn't windy and wasn't rainy, and a Tom gobbled, spat, & drummed his way out of an old clearcut and into the path of my 887.

    Not a monster, but 21lbs with a good beard and a nice set of spurs. Probably a 35-40 yard shot, because he popped out a bit to the left of where I'd expected him to.

    One thing I haven't seen before, his wingtips were smoked. I mean, the vanes are always worn down a bit, but this guy had even sanded down the shafts. He'd been doing some serious strutting lately.

    LOL. HRCC calls are sweet, check them out. i bought that browning gold in 2004 i believe. now. this is the first year of the TSS. i was hesitant about it, longbeard XRs and a carlson have always been deadly for me, but i jumped on the wagon! its a win win , same or more knockdown and more pellets :cheers:
