Been chasin him for 3 years.....tons of pics and video but always gave me the slip. Set up this morning on south side of my lease and never heard a gobble....hens all over me. Back to truck at 08:30 and went to Waffle House.....back at 09:30 and went to north end of lease....struck him up about 30 minutes later and called him in gobblin his head off at 11:00.....dead at 35yds.

Trophy tom right there if there is such a thing. A Tom is a Tom in most rights but having 3 beards is an extra bonus.

So did you recognize him in the pics with having 3 beards? Seems like he would have to of been close to 2 to be recognizable in pictures from the beards. That would put this bird at 5+ years old if so. It would be hard to recognize turkeys unless there is a unique quality to them and the 2 extra beards may work but at a mature age.

Worked Him About An Hour Or So?

 

[killmode]

Congrats. Nice bird. I always considered 1.25” spurs as a 4 yr old.
