Overslept this morning. Trying to decide to go on or not and Dad texts they're gobbling. Get ready and head to farm. Get there about 8:30. See a bird across road as I pull in. Second set of yelps hen fires up and he gobbled. Third set of yelps he gobbled and I know he's on my side. Fourth set he gobbled and he's in front of me in range strutting. Came in a low spot behind a down cedar. Strutted spit and drummed right into 20 yards. Little 20 gauge took care of him. 22lbs 12oz. 9 3/4" beard 13/16" spurs.

Congrats! Been a many birds killed by guys who sleep in and hunt mid to late morning. Thanks for sharing your story and pic.

Nice SA-459 setup. Have you had the trigger worked on that gun? Have you tested what poundage it breaks? Any creep in the trigger pull?
