My 2nd bird!

I got to the woods around 5:30 a.m. and walked about a mile and got set up. At 7:00 a.m. I believe Mr Plopp gobbled about 100 yds behind me. Another bird gobbled about 300 yds in front of me. I made a soft tree call, the bird in front gobbled again. I never did hear the bird behind he again, he did this to me earlier this week, gobbled 3 times and not another sound.
The bird in front gobbled a 3rd time, around 7:20, he walked out in front of me (don't ever let anybody tell a turkey won't wade water), standing in about 6 inches of water, I clucked with my mouth call and when he turned to look, he became table fare.
Stats: 20.5 lbs, beard: 9 & 5/8 inches, both spurs: 1 inch each.
The pics aren't much to look at because of the thrashing he did in the water, JW! has them if he will be kind again.

It's nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice!
