Thanks Curt....

Killed this ole boy in the corner of a field I've been seeing some turkeys in the last couple of days...They haven't been gobbling but I knew they were there...Set up there this evening with the wind blowing 20-30 mph & just did some cold calling in hopes of luring one of em in to the decoys.Well it worked & this Tom came in to the decoys silent as a church mouse.He walked up to B-mobile & I put a Woodman in the sweet spot  at 10 steps....He's got multiple beards(haven't measured yet) & long spurs & weighs in at 25lbs.....So you fellars that aint hearing nothing keep after them,I know it's hard when their not gobbling but can still happen if your out there.....

Wow!  That is a *nice* Tom - especially with the multiple beards!

And that is a nice lookin' longbow as well.

Those children will be ready to drop the string on their first Toms before you know it!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Have there been any more multiple beard birds taken where you hunt?  Both of the birds I took last year (west-central KY farm) where I hunt had double beards - looked like twins!  Just curious about the genetics in your area.  Great bird Mark . . . bet the kids got a kick of of it!

Mark, any time you can stick a turkey that is just awesome!  Two questions! Are you hunting out of blind?  And if not, are you shooting from a portable chair or just sitting on the ground and shooting.

I'm hunting out of an older stlye Doublebull T5,I've got a little tripod folding chair with a back on it that I use to sit in...Really wanting one of the Magnus Rack packs just can't justify spending that much money on one...

Thanks Again..

That's cool! I have never seen one with multiple beards in person. I guess I'll have to keep after them till I do.

Congrats on a great bird,
