Well, my Indiana season didn't last too long. I left work at 5:00 this morning and headed for the woods. The first two spots I went to had someone all ready there, so I had to head to a third place.
By the time I got there, the birds had flown down and gotten pretty quiet. I head for a couple that didn't give me a chance to even get a good lock on their location before they shut up. About 9:00 I decided I was coming home and going to bed. At the truck I heard two birds gobble across the road.
It took awhile to get them in range, but about 10:30 I had what I thought was the biggest bird of the two in my holosight. He was the only one strutting and had a thicker beard than the other, so I shot him.
9 3/4" beard, 7/8" spurs and a whopping 15 pounds!!
Thanks to Woody for taking the picture of me with the bird...
Two trips to the woods and this call had brought in 4 mature gobblers and three of them have went home with us. Can't wait to get to Kentucky in the morning...
