I called this bird in for my buddy, if you can believe we listened to this bird from 6am till noon. I finally told my buddy we need to move on this bird, he was just on the other side of the ridge all morning. Belly crawled to the top of the ridge, one cluck and some leave scratching and he came out of hiding, dead at 30 yards.

I killed this bird about 10 days later, arrived at camp weds evening and my season was done by 6:50am thursday morning, no gobbles on roost, no gobbles at all came in silent, no show, nothing, not much of a story but bird down 10 yards from me.

21lbs, around 9.5 in beard and one spur is a better than an inch the other broker off.  I have the beard and spurs in the garage drying, i'll have to take the tape measure to them. 

The bird I called in for my buddy was 23lbs, 10in beard and spurs less than an inch.  I have yet to bag a limb hanger in WI, they all seem to be the same size 2 year olds. Hunting should only improve with these dry springs we have been having.
