    Not exactly the time to be talkin turkey but I thought I would post a couple of pics from two toms that I harvested this last spring.

    The pic above is from the WI Tom – 23lbs. 13 oz., 10 inch beard, 1 inch spurs. This is my biggest tom to date.

    Saw this Tom along with 5 others strutting out in a field with 4 hens and 2 jakes! At one time we could see all six toms fanned out! Made a 1.5 hour stalk and we crawled 100 yards on our bellies to get within calling range. Finally this tom couldn’t resist the call and I was fortunate enough to make the 20 yard shot.

    This bird was taken down by Cannon Falls. Once he flew off the roost, he took his time coming in and about an hour later, he couldn’t resist the purr…
