Hey guys!
Yeah I'm still alive and moving about. Congrats to all of you that have had success! I managed to find a dumb bird this past week but I don't have the computer savvy to re-learn how to post pics. He came on a string thru a thicket no less and was flopping at 6:45 This bird was very special to me because I used the first shotgun I ever bought, a Remington 1100 in 2 3/4'' The same gun that I used to take my first spring longbeard 35 years ago and hadn't taken a bird with this gun in 19 years. I'll be checkin' in to see how y'all are doing. Best of luck to all for the rest of the season!

Re: Hey guys!
Congratulations Barry. I think that bird id also very special to all who know you, and know how hard you have worked for turkeys and physically challenged hunters and veterans. You deserve a turkey a day My friend. Best of luck for the rest of the season.
