First sorry for no pics, but got to get the son to set me up.
Took the head of Range Control out on Quantico. He has never killed a turkey. So took Patch (my dog) and headed out about 0830. We walked down this woods road for about a mile and did not see first sign. But then Patch left loose about 180 yards to our left. Less then a minute we had 2 long beards run past us and one fly. About 4 other birds we heard flying in opposite directions. Built a blind and got set up. About 2 hours later got a response and in he comes sneaking in. Roger got his first. 18.5 lb, 10.5" beard and 7/8" spurs.
Once I post pics I will elaborate a little more on the hunts. Got 2 other succesfull busts and kills.
Today and tomorrow we are having a Wounded Warrior deer hunt on base. So giving Patch a little rest.
Hope everyone is enjoying the best turkey hunting time of year.
Yea had to poke a little.
