Shot this big dude on 4/29 just a couple days before leaving MI for Tennessee to spend a few days at the Classic. I got settled into my blind and immediately heard gobbles behind and to the left of me. I shook out a couple weak gobbles in response and yelped a couple times on my box call and here he came from out in front of me across a big meadow, diagonally from the opposite side treeline. He stopped at about 8 yards conveniently in front of the only open window without mesh and I sent one through the base of his neck and out his back end. He dropped and flopped right there on the spot. I let him lay while I composed myself and another big boy came in and attacked him, standing on his back, picking up his head and dropping it, etc...pretty savage display of nature right there in front of me. I then noticed a bunch more hens and toms/jakes in the field that I watched for 30 minutes. All while a steady rain came down. Anyway, here's a pic or three. Oh, 11.5" beard and 1.25" spurs.
