Here's my first bird of the Spring. Not the biggest bird, just under 22 lbs, one spur 1", the other .5" and abnormal. 10" beard. I was after some much bigger gobblers and they just wouldn't leave their hens or I was set up on the wrong side of a swamp.
After leaving my initial set up yesterday I spotted this guy heading into some planted pines. I got in on the opposite side and stalked him down the rows. There's nothing like hearing the gobbles getting closer and closer followed by spitting and drumming.
