No dog work required here, unfortunately. I've always heard that boykins can be used as turkey dogs, but I've never known anyone who did such.
It was a mature tom at ~3 or 4 years based on his 9 1/2" beard and 7/8" spurs.
It was almost a case of self defense, and it was over before I had a chance to really get excited. I can't say I shot him in full strut, but nevertheless I did call him in and it wasn't a long distance snipe. Ample evidence of which is that I was shooting a modified choke 2 3/4" 12GA; distance to this bird was less than 30 yards.
The birds are hot and heavy for a 'lost hen' call right now.
