TN bird in a Thunderstorm

[aj.hiner]

What a hunt This bird whooped me for 3 days last year and made it a point get at him..Fast forward to this evening strong storms hit at around 5 when we heard him hammer..He continued to gobble at thunder probably gobbled 300 times in an hour..Lightning was hitting everywhere and my buddy gave me that ur insane look but hey, he was gobbling..He broke from gobbling and crossed the bottom we were in at 75 yds in 3/4 strut and i just knew it was gonna be the same as he did last year..All of a sudden he gobbled up above me at 30 at the thunder and from my belly leaned up..He stuck that neck up and it was all over 1.25" spurs and a rope..Blessed is the only words i can think of for my first TN bird and #4 on the year

Congrats Aj,

My first bird of the year flopped into a slew and got completely soaked. Dosent translate to a good picture.

The most gobbeling I have ever heard,
A foggy morning closely followed by 3 birds in a pasture while a thunderstorm passed near by.

You are having a dream season! Killed 4 and seen 3 more get killed so far?

Nice, congrats and you are braver than I am but if he was that hot I might have stayed after him as well.
