Tony Scavo Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Took the day off work for my B-day and headed out to my favorite spot. I called in several birds mostly Gobblers and Jake's but they where not coming in close enough. Finally a saw a big tom that i had to have so i took a shot well over 30 plus yards and a direct hit. This gobbler scored out 15 lbs 6 oz, left spur 1 inch, right spur 1 inch, with a 9.5 inch beard. It was an exciting day in the field. Here are a couple of pic's.

Thank you for inspiring me. I haven't cooked any of the two birds yet. Not sure if i will inject with marinade or dry rub turkey's before deep frying them.
