Made a trip over to Missouri for a hunt with family. We had four mornings that we could hunt, and it rained ever day. I believe the total was 8 to 9 inches total. On the morning of the third day, we heard are first gobble. He was over on another ridge about 150 yards away. The bird turned himself inside out gobbling at my calls. After about an hour, he went silent. I told my son to get ready, and the bird was probable moving are way. I looked up the two track road that we were hunting, and seen this wight head coming down the road. He came right up to the decoys and my son took him at 15 yards. This was my sons first out of state hunt and first Missouri long beard. It weighed 20 lbs 10 oz, 10 inch beard, and 1 1/8 spurs.
