Title: had my own chance at a UT tom
Post by: hawglips on December 14, 2016, 05:29:44 PM

I flew out of NC yesterday morning and arrived at a place we could hunt with about 1-1/2 hours of legal time left.

It was unreal.  Ran into a flock of hens and called them and another mixed group up to with 25 yds of us.  I counted 102 birds before I stopped counting because I saw a tom finally and had to focus on the shot.

His craw was jam packed.  And he was the fattest bird I've ever cleaned.
