After a pretty frustrating season dealing with henned up birds I finally closed the deal this am. I called up three longbeards and hammered the strutter at about fifteen yards then watched as the other two whipped up on his body for a few minutes. He was 21 lbs., 11 in beard and 1 3/4 spurs. I killed two longbeards this past fall so I guess the rest of the spring is going to be spent with video camera in hand. Gotta love this sport!!! What in the world do people do that don't hunt?

Hey, you are supposed to measure those hooks from where they poke out of the back of the legs, not from the front side of the legs Just Kidding, great bird. Show us some pics. _________________ Ron "Turkey hunting, when you knock all the feathers off it, is a game of infinite variables, played on a field of unlimited dimension, against an opponent who doesn't know the rules and wouldn't play by them if he did." ...Jim Spencer

Are you considering entering it in the big game contest? It should easily take first place. Looking at the NWTF ranking it would tie with second place for the best typical. Congratulations!
