Z-man thats a big turkey. Got one at 7:30 19 pounds 9 inch beard and 1 inch hooks. Today was the best gobbling I ever heard where I hunt during A week. Hammered all the way to flydown then picked up around 7:15. Good luck to everyone. I can't wait for B week!!

Heard alot of birds this morning but the place filled up with hunters right at sun up and spooked the birds. :mad: Pulled out at 8:20 and went on a run and gun across the street from my first set up. Had birds working all the way up until noon, but none close enough to shoot. Walking to my truck of course, I had a nice gobbler spook from the brush and run. He was big so I'll give it a whirl tomorrow morning. :rolleyes:
