Sandman,
Congrats on the nice Tom. I have been having a strange season as well. The Toms won't come on my farm. It's funny, I have 1 hen that just about crawls in my lap each time I'm out, but the Tom's only come to the tree filled fence row that separates my farm from my neighbors. They will go all up and down that row, but won't cross over. I spooked some on youth day with my daughter, and I think that might have pushed them out. I might try using a grenade.
