First Longbeard
On Monday morning at 9:00 a.m., I shot my first longbeard. In fact, it was my first turkey that I ever shot. Was in Bath County. 19.5 lbs., 1" spurs and 9" beard. On Tuesday and Wednesday had turkeys gobbling but could not close the deal. I was with a guide, so I can't take credit. He did a great job. Came back to Pa. a very happy "turkey" hunter. I have the "fever"...

First of all, congratulations. I read where you killed a longbeard while hunting with John Metzger. I think you credited Steve, your guide for you success. What did you think of John Metzger as a guide? Would you recommend John Metzger or just Steve?
