Great looking bird Ross!!
I started in the wrong end of the bush and couldn't connect with them. Got wet and cold so I am home now having a nice breakfast. Out again later....
Congrats!

Is that another Tom or a decoy in behind you? Not sure if he's brave or dumb being there if it's real!!!

Yep thanks guys . That's a decoy . Weighed in at 21 lbs
We had 2 toms coming up behind us & 2 Toms with 3 hen's in front coming across towards decoys but couldn't get them in past 45 yards just sauntering by . Ready to take shot I've patterned at 50 yds then another Tom came jogging in at 30 yds right across in front of us & I shot out side window of blind . Dropped like a stone . Then all scattered no chance for second bird . Two of us in blind one with a xbow .
52 year old shotgun , 68 year old hunter & old style 2 3/4" # 5 rabbit load at 30 yds . Haha it's the magician not the wand . Sorry but I am excited been awhile . Luck to all .
