i was beginning to think my limit string was over.the bird i have been hunting the past two weeks will live to get even smarter.i lucked out on this bird.he gobbled across the blacktop road to my call while i was in the pasture.i truck came by and i could not believe he gobbled again.i called and he and his buddy started across the road to the pasture i was in.he crossed in a depression and i was over the hill in another one about 100 yards away.i had no where to go, so i sat down on the grass.i called and he hung up and gobbled for about 30 minutes.finally,he went to the top of the hill at the fence and started down the fence in my direction.the only way i knew this was he gobbled when he got to the fence.i shifted around with my gun on my knee and saw his head and shot.he had a 10.5" beard and about 1" spurs.his buddy left him to take care of business and i heard him gobble at crows on my way out.he will be there next year.great season and lots of memories.[
