Congratulations! Just one spur? I killed one like that in NC last year.
Thank you Lord for creating these wonderful birds and allowing us to chase after them.

Congratulations! How much chasing did you do before getting your first Osceola? I have one unsuccessful trip under my belt so far. Going again soon to try my luck and hope my learning over last three seasons May up my odds.

This is my first time! I hunted Friday morning and Saturday morning and located birds but couldn’t navigate to success! Yesterday morning I had three gobblers on the roost, but they sounded kind of jakey. This morning, he gobbled a few times on the roost then went silent. I had located a semi dry pond Monday, and sure enough they were headed that way. I got ahead of him. He responded to some light yelps

Congrats!! :cheers:

I listened and scouted the north of 70 area this morning. Probably heard a hundred roost gobbles then little after flydown. I'll add a picture to the Florida Weather thread.

I hunted close to there a few days quite a few years ago and was beaten like a drum by the few Alabama gobblers that we found. Good luck.

Congrats! Nice gobbler. Son had a public bird last year with some daggers for spurs. We've hunted the same S. FL WMAs several years in a row and took birds with nubs for spurs, or one spur and a nub within a quarter mile of the other one. I'm figuring genetics versus nutrition or injuries.

Persistence pays off. Now you'll want to come back again, it's habit forming!
