Manged a bird on Saturday, and another bird on Monday here.
Saturday's bird was about as boring a story as there is. We were moving on a bird when another one sounded off in the thick stuff right beside us. He hadn't made a peep all morning. Came peeking in through the thick stuff and my buddy had a tree between him and the bird, so he couldn't see him. He finally stuck his head up into a clearing for me, and after having a truck spook a bird inside 70 yards earlier, I let him have it.
2 year old, 18 pounds, 3/4 spurs, 8 inch beard.
Monday I was into birds all morning long, but they were all grouped up hard. 6 gobblers following 2 hens, 4 gobblers and 6 jakes following 4 hens, you name it. I finally got close to a flock that turned to go away at 11, and decided to pull a trick from deep in the playbook. I ran into them like a fool fall hunter and busted them to the 4 directions. I made a short loop towards where 1 lone bird headed and immediately got a response and called a 2 year old in.
21 pounds, 1 inch spurs, 9.25 beard.
I'll get the full gamut of pictures up as soon as I get them off the phone on the second bird, but I'm on the board. Hope these bunches break up soon. Saw 9 gobblers following a single hen today. Hussy :drool:
Good work.
Even with it being late in the season here, the birds here are still henned up bad in spots. Been chasing them hard and can't get one to break loose to save my life.
Way to get it done Brent.
Congrats on getting those 2 knocked down. If you need help with the pics, just give us a shout out, we'll get you squared away brother.
Nice work Brent. If you need to send the pics to me and I'll get em up for ya
Its not so much uploading them (at least yet), but taking all these pictures is a royal pain. Plus with a dead phone battery on Saturday, I was hosed for pics. I'll get 'em up eventually.
Congrats!! :z-guntootsmiley:
Attaboy! Very nice birds!
