Finally I got home from Florida on vacation Friday night and was able to go hunting Saturday.Got a nice bird Saturday evening around 7:15 pm.,he had a beard length of 10.75 " spurs were 1.25" in length.Actually had 7 different birds come in the first two gobblers stayed out to far for a descent shot then the one I got was in a group of 5 different gobblers that came in to the decoys along with three hens that came in at the same time.
Having hunted turkeys since the season opened here in Indiana back in the 80's sometime I think I've only went with out getting a "gobbler" in one season..time and patience I think is the key factor in doing this.

Congratulations on a fine bird and a LOT of action there.
Days like that make up for the no gobble days...

Woody I've had plenty of those no gobble days and this one wasn't much different as the one I killed came in with the four other gobblers with out even making a noise.When I first saw the hens I gave a couple clucks and not much more and then a few minutes later I had 5 gobblers come in without making a sound...only sound after that was ..BOOM!!!!!!!

Congrats. I think to many hunters give up if they don't hear them. Just because they don't gobble, don't mean they arn't on there way. I wander if there would have been a fight if you could hold off from shooting.
