I have been blessed beyond belief in the turkey woods this year. It is the best season I've ever had. I have been in the woods 6 times and killed three of the best birds I've ever killed, and had opportunity to kill on two of the other three hunts. I chased a bird from 6:20-8:00 am this morning, and although I think I could have killed him with some more patience he ended up crossing a property line and walking away gobbling his head off. Once he made that move I went after another bird I had been listening to all morning. I set up about 100 yards from the bird and within 12 minutes he was dead. 17.5 lbs, 10.5" thick beard, 1" and 1 3/16" spurs. To top it all off he is my birthday bird!! ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/mattbrock/DSC_0512.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/mattbrock/DSC_0508.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/mattbrock/DSC_0505.jpg)

Congrats Matt, when your having a year like that its time to go ahead and give those other two the courtesy of knowing its over.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.
