This morning, I went to the south end of the farm, hearing birds gobble when I got there. I set up a decoy out in the pasture about 20 yds away. I began calling with a glass call and diaphragm call and had at least two birds fired up. They stayed up in the woods on a high point gobbling. In a few minutes, I heard them coming off the hill and saw the first gobbler go into strut. There were two big gobblers coming my way while a hen with them moved off. The dominant bird strutted all the way in, and I rolled him at about 30 yds. He had a 10 1/2" beard, 18 1/2 lbs, and 3/4" spurs. I killed him at 7:10 a.m. Needless to say, I've had a great turkey season.
