    Both good birds! Both bow kills over decoys.

    Humper - 9.75” beard. 1” spurs






    Lsmith. 8.5” beard .. longest spur 1-7/16” 21lbs





    That brings us to 15 Toms in the first 3 weekends this year. Gonna be hard to ever top or repeat that. We hit it perfect this year with a large amount of willing birds.
    How big is y’alls lease? That’s an impressive haul!

      It is our best since I've been on for total numbers and we are still covered in them. We usually kill 7-8 birds a year and that's with not trying super hard after the first two weekends being so far away.

      .
      Our place is ~2400 acres that is part of 4100. The other part is the LOs family side.

      Humper's bird was one of ten he saw that am....

        JFT Turkey Tour 2018

        Birds cooperated this morning in Gillespie county. Finally got these two to commit and sent a Bullhead at the one beating up on my DSD Jake.
        Once he was down the other Tom jumped on him until he stopped flopping. Then proceeded to assault my hen for around 10
        Minutes. Finally had to run him off. Saving him for
        Later. Got the shot on video but won’t let Me post it. If someone will PM me their number I Will send it and they can put it up.

          Great pics....and congrats. You are gonna have to load it up to youtube or other video hosting site to put it on here. We can't just upload videos anymore unfortunately.

          On a side note, you are a better more patient man than me if a big Tom is still there and you passed him up...well unless you are saving him for somebody else. Those suckers are tough to get back multiple times. A "wise" man once said to me..."Get em when you can..."

            We are fortunate to have plenty of Mature Tom’s around and not much pressure near us. That is bird #2 for the year. Have to let the old man catch up or he will get grumpy.

                  Not a whole lot to recap but I’ll post some photos later.

                  Prolly take next weekend off and get ready for Wyoming
                  Sorry to hear it Clay. We ended up with 6 for the weekend. Hunting was extremely tough. Birds would hardly talk once they flew down and were pretty much henned up. Mid-day hunts near water were very successful for us.

                  Congrats to everyone else that scored this weekend!

                        2 more weeks and some Easterns are gonna get hammered! I’ve got a great spot picked out, and I’ll give em heck. Two straight weekends of making mama happy, something’s gonna die! I just hope the weather will level out by then, it’s been terrible.

                        Great birds so far, congrats to all of the successful hunters.

                                I fly out next Tuesday morning, visit some jobsites, and the hunt begins Thursday.
