My largest bird ever. Killed at 9:00 on a farm game coop in Washington County.  22 1/4 lbs, two beards at 9 3/4 and 4 inches and spurs 1 1/4 and 1 1/8.  Shot him at 20 yards as he was in full strut standing on a log.  This the the third mature gobbler I called in this spring but the first that offered a shot.

Congratulations,,  nice bird

Way to go! That is a great gobbler.

Good job, it dosen't look good for me this year.

congrats  dd

Tell you what, don't give up.  I have been hearing more gobbling as of late then I heard early on in the season.  This last weekend including Memorial day could be the best for those that stick it out.  Now is the prime time to find a lonesome old longbeard.  The weather this weekend is supposed to be good too.

Good luck.

dpms, I will be out both Saturday and Monday, but haven't heard a bird since last friday. I've killed sveeral on the last day, but in all cases I knew where abouts they were from their gobbling earlier in the week. This year it's silence.

Nice bird DPMS, your right about it not being over. Called in 2 jakes for my grandson yesterday but they stayed so close it was kill them both or don't shoot so we left them walk. Went to another area and worked a loudmouth for two hours and at 30 yds he saw us move the gun. Also had one gobble for an hour across from the house this morning. Never give up.
