Fall Rio Grande Turkey

I was out deer hunting yesterday in West Texas, sitting in the middle of about a 20 acre field in a box blind. We didn't see any deer, but a tom turkey came out of the woods about 200 yards away and proceeded to walk right by the blind on his way to the other side of the field. He fed there for a half hour or so while I waited for a deer to show (I really needed a deer for the freezer). When he turned around and walked right back toward us I finally couldn't stand it and shot him. I wish I'd had my bow with me, he was within 15' at one point. He turned out to be a very nice turkey, 21lbs, 1" and 1 1/8" spurs and 3 beards of 5", 7.5" and 10". Here are some pictures:
