 Duck blind bird It was a suitable day for what GN calls the ''Duck Blind''
After fighting the fog, rain showers, wind and cold weather for 4 hours this bird followed a hen into our setup.
I smooth missed him with the first shot but for some reason he paused to give me a 2nd chance.
21 lbs - 8 oz, fair spurs for a mountain bird plus a broom for a beard!
Hody will be posting pics for me

Re: Duck blind bird Great bird Barry. Who in their right mind would bet against Barry and the Duck Blind on any given day.
Is it true that the bird never made a single gobble coming in? It is a weird gobble year for sure, but the combo of Barry and The Duck Blind can overcome any turkey weirdness!!

Re: Duck blind bird Correct GN, never heard a single gobble.
I know there's at least 2 more gobblers in the area as well

V Vic, I was using my Doan's can but this bird never gobbled so he may have just followed the hen in
