Ol' Gobblehead was roosted off my back deck last night. I saw him fly up, so I got up to listen to him this morning. He's had beard rot and just has a stubby little blond goatee now. Good set of spurs, but no beard.

Cool! I have some neighbors that sound like that once in a while, but the nearest "real" gobbler is about 80 miles away. You can hear them pretty far in this country,...but not that far!
...Is 'Ol Gobblehead considered to be a legal bird there? Here in NM, if they don't have a visible beard, even if it's a mature gobbler, they are not legal to shoot. Of course, birds like that are as rare as hens teeth,...but it is a good reason to carry a "spare beard" and some super glue... ;D :toothy12:
Sweet
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing!
