Approximately three years later, I called in another bird for my best friend that sported 1 3/4". Both birds were killed not more than 100 yards apart south of Cairo, Ga. That's awesome Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

wareagle22 8 point Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 2,347 Cantonment FL	Originally Posted by BC My largest was 1 5/8. I have been very fortunate and have been able to kill 8 birds with inch and a half hooks or better. Here's a pic of a pretty good set that came out of Nebraska about 3 years ago. I saw this set in person!!! That was a STUD gobbler an ole BC was like he had just killed another 2 year old. He is a damn stone cold gobbler killer!! Fatal Attraxion Custom Calls
