Went out to check a couple food plot cams and had this big guy in full strut:


Less than 3 weeks to go....

Been seeing a lot of tom's out in the fields around here lately, ones and twos. I'll be in Kansas the week of April 9th for the opening events. Hopefully I'll have more than one morning to hunt this year, unlike last year.

Damn. Nice bird. Great hooks it looks like and thick "neck tie" beard. Hope you get him! LA or TX?

La Lee. He's got some pretty white tips for an Eastern.

My nephew killed a big boy in the same area a couple years back during the youth hunt that had a very similar fan. We went out and scouted the eve before and got to see that big boy put on a show in a food plot for a while, then ended up killing him the next morn about 1/2mile away. That was the first tom he'd ever seen at 7yo and to actually kill him the next day was a shocker.

I hope my Dad get's this big boy. We'll probably set up a blind along the plot for him to sit in.

I was gonna guess rio until I saw the pine trees in the background. Beautiful turkey I hope your dad gets him.

We're starting to see them out in the fields around here too. Buddy sent me a pic of 12 toms in a corn field across the street from one of our spots.

Megatron! Hope to see some trophy pics of that old boss once turkey season starts.

He looks tasty...
