Team #10 "Beardaholics Anonymous"

[IlliniWalli]

finished my 2011 season yesterday - 22 pounds, 10 1/2 beard, 1 1/8 spurs.

not much happened on my first setup so with a storm rolling in i hustled back to the wheeler and grabbed the blind and popped it up along a field.

started calling on a box and tube since it was thundering and the wind was howling. 3 eventually answered. this guy then got fired up by yelps and purrs on a glass call and i watched him strut in across the field to my decoy.

also got a 2-year-old tom - 22-8-1 - during the third season.

can we add these 2 to our team score.

My season is over and I ended up striking out. I only had one morning and one evening when the weather and parenting allowed me going out. I had been seeing birds where I hunted but didn't see or hear anything on the days that I got to go out.
