Thx Wooly and good luck to you too. I went out Saturday mroning and man was it hot out. The birds were not reacting at all. Sat until 8am and did a little run and gun. Ended up bumping a hen off the roost at 845am?? Yes 8:45 and she was still roosted. Hopefully next weekend will be a little better.

I shot a nice tom today around 620 am. Everything that could go right did, never had that happen before. I have to do a final measurement but the beard was close to 10'' and the spurs I didn't measure yet. Ill post the pics later.

Great bird. Congrats. It's season 7 or 8 for me and I still am awaiting my first bird. Hope it looks like that for sure.
Had to laugh at the 2nd pick as the tailgate wire almost looked like an arrow shaft but you were holding your shotgun so I was like WTH did he have to finish him off with his bow? LOL

Ha ha yea I didn't notice it until you said something it does look like an arrow. This is my third season where I hunted hard. Previous to that I went out for turkey once when I was about 16. I, like you zemm, was looking for my first one. This is it. To be honest this was the only gobbler I have had an opportunity to shoot at. It took me three years to get this guy so I am preatty happy. They are tough to hunt. I would here them gobble, but they never came in. On may 2nd my buddy shot his first as well. It was a jake in the same place I took mine. Here is his pic:
