Post Dads birthday bird
We headed back out to the property I shot my last one on Tuesday and were greeted by at least 3 birds gobbling, 2 were only about 100 yards out. After the first couple soft yelps I gave them they really got fired up. They both hit the ground and really started rolling out the gobbles with some double gobbling. Soon I could tell they were headed our way and the last gobble was just below our ridge about 60 yards out. I then noticed my dad tighten up on the gun and saw 2 longbeards heading up our side of the ridge. As the first bird passed by, my dad shot the second bird. Done again at 6:20. This makes 2 Years in a row I have been able to get my dad a birthday bird.

22.6 lbs
10 1/4 beard
Both spurs right at 1 1/4
