Was a good day for my 9 YO grandson. My SIL and the 3 grandsons(5, 9 & 11) were in the blind at day break and he said he thought he heard one gobble way off but wasn’t sure. He made one soft call and a minute or so went by and a hen flew down and landed in the food plot. A few minutes latter and 4 more hens showed up and not many minutes latter the “old boy” made his last appearance.
We did not get a weight on the bird but he was heavy and certainly 18#s plus.
He made a good shot at 35 steps and he was downed in his tracks. He had a 10.5” beard but the spurs speak for themselves. They were a good set of hooks and 1.5” long and very sharp. I have never taken any better!!! This is a true trophy eastern gobbler IMO.
I only take credit for the food plot!!
