Shot my Wisconsin bird yesterday morning, second day of the hunt. DonBo, team# 3, Tom Terminators. First morning set up was kinda dissapointing, saw a couple hens and only heard mimimal gobbling, none close. We were walking into another area to set up for the second morning when we heard a gobble not far away. Got my buddy Dave set up near a field edge and I made some calls. He responded but wasn't getting closer. I moved about 50 yards into the woods and called again. Finally saw Dave get his gun up so I called again and BOOM! 11am.  His was 23 1/2 lbs, 9" beard, 1" spurs. We hunted elsewhere the rest of the day without much sucess. Second morning we were set up same spot Dave shot his. Much more gobbling than day one. Also heard lots of hens. Saw a flock of about 8 jakes, a couple other jakes and 2 or 3 hens with no company.  Because of all the competition I was calling pretty agressively all morning. When this guy finally decided to come he was in full strut the last 50 yards. Came right into the decoys and shot him at 13 yards. 7am. 22lbs 15oz. 10 1/4" beard. Spurs 5/8 and 3/4.        I carried my bow the first day, because of the lack of activity that day I chose the old 870 the second morning. Wouldn't you know he came so close? I still have the archery season in Minnesota to look fwd to. I have shot lots of birds in So. Dak. with my bow, but never here at home.
