Longbeard down

I shot a 3 year old Tom on Tuesday morning in a public hunting area located in Hoosier National Forest near Spurgeons Corner. Birds were very active from the roost. Walked into the field with heavy fog and set up my blind and decoys. I had 3 toms come to my left but stayed 80-90 yards away, gobbling at my Bmobile. They walked over into a private area and things got quiet. Took in some coffee and mini buns, when my bird started to hammer away from 8-8:30. I talked with him softly than shut up. I realized he got quiet and figured he may come my way. Focusing to my right into the property line, he came out. Once he was in the open field, he went to full strut, began drumming and spiting. He walked in full strut into my set up and I smoked him at 23 yards with Winchester Longbeards XR's. He went down where without kicking! He weighed in at 20lbs. 9 ounces, 10.25" beard and 25 mm spurs. I'll post some pics later on. This has been a long dry spell for me since the last bird I took in 2005!
