Congrats - that's a fine looking Tom.
The decoy looks really nice too. I'd like to see a few more pics of the decoy and how it was made!!

Nice work...

Congrats. Good patience.

How did you make that decoy? You have a mold or something or is it made of wood??

Great job on the decoy.
It must feel great to see your hard work making the decoy pay off with 3 gobblers thinking she was hot!!!
Congrats on the turkey too.
Super.
