Wife killed one this afternoon on a powerline. Was dry calling every 30 minutes or so and he appeared down the powerline. Looks like beard rot and he had no spurs at all. A crow flew over and cawed and he gobbled, full tall fan. We would have never shot if not for the gobble.

I had a quick hunt this morning. We had to switch places this morning due to someone beating us to the spot. We had to drive around to the other side of the property and by this time it was already 6am. We got out and immediately heard several. The closest one was about 200 yards down a road. We went that direction and sat down and bumped a turkey we didn’t know was there. I went ahead and did some soft yelps and another gobbler pitched down kind of behind us and hard left. I grabbed the gun from my wife since she was sitting to the right and facing the total opposite direction. About a minute later he stepped into the road at 25 yards and I let the TSS fly. He weighed 18.2lbs 11.5in beard 1.25 rt spur and 1in lt spur.
