This bird came along way to die this morning. Well over 400 yards. Last 150 yards half strutting and gobbling across a field.

GN, i have not hunted my Grainger County properties in 2 years. Too many poachers, tresspassers, and some politics. Do not miss climbing those mountains.

This is a Knox county bird. Rolling farmland. Easy on the knees.

Way to go. I'll bet that last 150 yards raised your heartbeat a bit.
