Isanti TOM Limb hanger spurs

Here is a couple pics of my Tom I shot last Monday.
23# 10″ beard 1″7/8 spurs.

Looks like a great bird, but you know you can’t just post a pic. We want the scoop!

Congrats on the great bird…but I gotta say, I agree with deertracker…lets hear the story

Congrats on your tom! Awesome spurs! Let’s hear it!

Whoa! He could do some damage with those spurs! Congrats!

Wow!!! Doesn’t get much better then that. That old timer made it through a bunch of hunting seasons. What a trophy.

Okay you asked for it. I’m not much of a writter.
Story begings that I’ve returned to work. Couldn’t stand beign retired. So the pressure was on to shoot a turkey by 8:30 am and Drive from Isanti to Bloomington get there by 10:00 am.

Sunday night I arrived to the land and talked to the land owner about possible spots to set up. Having over 300 acres of Land to hunt I wasn’t shure were to start. I couldn’t beleive it when he told me the best spot was just of the edge of his drive way.

Feeling a bit of pressue from some others I wanted to shoot this bird with a bow. So I set up my Matrix 360 in the woods. 5:30 came and It was already very light out due to the moon. I sat a bit an couldn’t hear any turkeys on account of the frogs, cranes, owles, ducks, geese, woodpeckers, crows, Local rednecks with the dual pipes.
I called for awhile and nothing. Then I heard a faint gobble on the North end of the property. I got out of the stand and put my Orange hat on. Not wanting to take any chances. Considering the recent Turkey hunting fatality. (no comment). I called for a while, I could hear a gobble coming from what seemed a mile away. Then nothing. By this time I figured I should start getting packed up and head for work. I whent up to the house and go packed up. But I thought I’ll give one last call. And before I could get the second note out 2 toms called back. I grabbed my shot gun, bow was cased up. and a minute later there he was right behind me. I got him right in the neck and not one feather fell off. I’m getting him mounted. End of story

P.S. I made it to work by 10:00

Nothing wrong with that story! Congrats again and thanks for sharing!
