Scouted the last couple of days and found a couple good areas of fresh turkey sign.
So this morning got setup just a legal light. Only heard two gobbles way off, but with the heavy sign I knew they had to be around the area.
After calling for a hour and a half I finally got a gobble and had them swing around and seen that the first bird had a full fan and coming fast. then was trotting across left to right and had to shoot quick.
25 yard shot, he was with three jakes.
Got a bloody nose on the shot. those 3.5 inch TSS loads kick like a mule!

18.5 lb, 7.5 inch beard, one inch spurs

A fun day!

Bloody nose looks like it was worth getting. Nice bird.
If there are fish to catch. I'll be there to my end.
