Patience is definitely a virtue! Great job. What a gorgeous tom! It looks like it has 1 tailfeather that is a little off colored that gives him even more vibrant contrast to the colors! Congrats!

Great pic Pat! I ALWAYS step on their neck and either wring it or knock them in the head for insurance! They can be tough as you know :) great job!

Nice bird and I love the photo also. "As soon as I put my hands on him I snapped his neck!!!! In fact, every gobbler I kill, I'm going to kill him again from now on." Your statement above reminded me of something that happen to a friends sister. She went out for spring gobbler to a spot her brother had taken one and scored on a nice bird as well. She loves to hunt but can bring herself to touch a dead animal, go figure, so she carries a garbage bag with her for that reason. She tug the bird and scooped it up into the bag and put it in back of her SUV and headed home which was about 45 miles away. Not long into her trip back she heard a noise and looked in the rear view mirror and the gobblers head was poked through the bag looking over the back seat. She freaks out and finally pulled off the road and jumped screaming out of the SUV. Meanwhile, the gobbler is flopping all over the inside of the SUV throwing blood and feathers everywhere! It succumbed to the beating it took thrashing around in the SUV in a few minutes but it took a long time for his sister get back in the vehicle!
