There's a beautiful Tom strutting across the road from my house right now. He's about 150 yards away.
I wish I could get excited about shooting him.
We can shoot one in spring, one in fall.
I shoot one every 5 years or so.
Hardly seems worth it. They live in the trees across the road, eat the waste grain in the field, and wander up to my feeder in the winter.

Like trout fishing, the bug never really bit.

Out there doing it best I can.
