The Fence Walker

[MuzzHunter]

This is my brother's first turkey ever. We called him fence walker because during 3rd season my dad watched him 3 days walk up and down this fence. So come saturday my dad and brother set up along that fence. Right away the tom started to gobble in the roost. Then he flew down and my dad gave him some purrs and he would gobble. So then 20 minutes after he flew down he come walking in and seen the decoys and was headed right for them. My brother didn't let him get that far. He shot him at a close range of 13yds. He never moved again. He ended up weighing 24 1/4 lbs., had a 11in beard and 1 1/8in. spurs. Here are a couple of pictures.
