Don't have much time to tell the long story right now. But after MANY years of bad breaks, bad weather, below par turkey properties, I finally broke my gobbler curse this morning. The lease property is proving to be a honey hole for big toms. It took us one day to figure out that we needed to be on the pond last weekend. (the trail cam showed gobblers crossing there EVERY DAY) Yesterday we were there and had 2 chances at gobblers but the decoys we had acted as a road block and they did not come through the pinch point. So scratch the decoys. Today we came to the same spot and sure enough here comes the toms with their hens down the same field. 2 gobblers so we figured here was our double kill. Wrong again and the curse continued. As they failed to give us a good shot and left. 5 minutes later this tom (almost as a gift of mercy) came down the same path as if he was a little behind the group. He too almost avoided my grasp as he took a different path around the blind at around 40 yards hiding himself from the camera. I dropped a window in the double bull and let him have it at 40 with my bow, he ran 20 yards and died!
Here is the video that tells the story a bit better.

P.S. Has anyone ever seen a fully mature 9 1/2" beard tom without spurs???!?!?! I killed one today :lol:
