Nice birds everyone, congrats ! I Had a great weekend with the kids bird hunting and Striper fishing. My buddy Jimmy shot this late morning bird and my kiddos were lucky to be present. I was able to connect with a big long beard myself using my .410 pistol. He was 10 yards away when I pulled the trigger. What a great weekend.

Had the best turkey hunt and killed my PB Saturday morning. First limb hanger. Stats ----21#, 10", 1 1/8". Story--Put to bed Friday evening...Snuck in Saturday morning, kicked deer out on way in but no blowing, 5:00 AM set...Bird started gobbling 5:04... sat tight and listened to him call for 18 minutes and held off any calling till he flew down...Tom flew down and surprised me because I was only 75 yds from the base of his tree...gave him my first call and he was 100 yds away and hammered back with double come find me now! from a wood road above me...I stayed quiet knowing that he knew right where I was I shifted my position so my Mossy was pointing up the hill toward the top of the wood road...Tom kept calling but to my concern he was walking away from me...so I hit him again with my 2nd set of yelps from my box---he went crazy with call after call....but still wasn't coming in but going down the hill on an end around on a smaller wood road so I moved my position so i was pointing on a stone wall fence lower on the hill...I softened my call to a few clucks with a few purrs and shut up....he kept up calling and now finely closing some distance...looking the area over he was coming up the hill and I knew that when i would see him he would be in range of my 3 1/2' 12 mag with copper coated 6's...another soft purr with a few clucks----Hammer back--I need a date...Cluck-Cluck-purr---Hammer---Purr-Purr- Hammer...I shut up and had the 12 with safety off ready... finely there he was @ 40 yds in the clear so the front bead covered the white head and I squeezed and click--miss fire--not the sound you want to hear!...somewhat relieved that he kept hammering I waited for him to go behind a tree and ever so slowly i pumped the mossy 835 and put it on him when he stepped out and head shot him and dropped him cold...a little over 20 minutes from fly down.

Apple congrats on the PB, everyone keep at you guys are doing great congratulations to all successful hunter
Busy weekend for dad and I, lots of jakes and a few hang ups
Today we sat up on two long beards and had a Jake fly right down and end up 10 yards but the two big guys had at least 3 hens with em that they followed out of sight
Then the wind picked up so we went a tried a few low land places and low and behold at 10:20 we finally heard one
He came in on a string and then set up a strut zone about 30 yards away right behind a blow down go figure
But after not calling for about an hr he finally went the wrong way for him, but right way for dad,
Dad walked up to him at 11:50 call it close to the end
9.25" beard
1 3/8" spurs
23.4 lbs per the ole scale
Only issue was half his beard is rotted away maybe freeze or a mite
But awesome hunt and now maybe the boss will let me sleep in
