Strut busters on the board!!

[DonBo]

Nice bird to start us off! I'd check those spur lengths though...looks to me like you may have shorted yourself.

[ANYFISH2]

Oh yah, I guess that's why I am not a carpenter! 5/8th. Should I resubmit a form with the correction?

[Scoot]

Atta way Annyfish- great start! Congrats!!!

[hugonian1]

Measure twice- cut once.

Congrats on a nice bird.

Is that a second beard I see there? Great bird!

[DonBo]

Great bird Pike, is there a second beard? That counts extra, count 'em both. Beard Busters is on the board!

[FrontenacPike]

I looked at the beard pretty close because at first glance it does. I don't believe it's countable as two because there is no seperation. It appears the white scaley stuff that holds the beard together split all the way to the skin.

No one was around to take a pic of my bird and I, so I had to take a pic with the meat.

Congrats. Especially like the pic of the final product.

lost my longer post of the hunt, so this will be short and sweet ...

was set up close to the roost and he was the first to fire off followed by multiple other gobblers up through the holler.

heard some hens cluck, so i gave him a couple tree yelps right before flydown and he pitched down in my direction. he was out of sight over the crest of the ridge but gobbled at every call and leaf scratching.

it took about 10 minutes before he came up onto the flat about 30 yards away and met a 3 inch load of xx 5s

Smacked me a nice Merriam's last weekend out in the Black Hills. Came in on a string and got it all on video!

Last one is my favorite!
