In April 2019, Alex and Justin roosted these public land toms the night before their hunt, but had to wait it out until after 9 am for the toms to break away from their hens and come in on a rope. Toms gobbling in the hunters’ faces at 10 yards is an experience Alex says he and his brother will never forget. Both birds had about 10-inch beards and 1.25-inch spurs.
